Rumors: $129 Black Friday Linux Netbook Deal

It's November, ladies and gentlemen, and you know what that means: it's time to count down to Black Friday!

Huliq recently included netbooks on its list of what it expects to be the most popular items this Black Friday, and has uncovered some interesting hints about what we could expect this shopping season.

Word has it that a 9″ Linux netbook will be available for an insane $129 this year. This sounds like it could come in the form of a refurbished Dell Mini 9 or Eee PC 900 series netbook, depending on who's doing the selling.

Another popular offering could be the 15.4″ Compaq CQ-139WM, which isn't a netbook but runs a 160 GB HDD and 2 GB of RAM for only $298.
