I would suspect a little editing of your sources.list would fix the
10.04 upgrade issue, which I suspect is due to the LTS designation. I
suspect Ubuntu configured 10.04 to not upgrade to newer versions
automatically to enhance the stability of the release. Changing the
release version in the apt sources.list file should allow an upgrade
all the way to 11.04.
Regarding netbooks, I think just about all of them will do what you
are looking to do. I like the HP Mini 1000, from what I have seen
from the mainstream manufacturer. I also like the products from
System76 and ZaReason. Both specialize in the sales of devices with
Linux pre-loaded. Caveat, I don't yet own a netbook, but I have been
quietly yearning for one for the last couple of years... ;-)
