I want the unit to be lightweight, under $200 , run Linux and do the following....

have keyboard ( can be small and hard to use since I don't mind supplying an external mouse and keyboard ) , USB ports , small screen or none ( 7 inch is okay  I plan to connect external display ) , be lightweight , don't care about battery life.   Don't care about hard drive.

Supply audio out
Supply video out ( at least 800 by 600  more would be nice )
Accept USB flash sticks
Access the internet via ethernet
X86 based
Linux ( Debian ) will have apps to play video, firefox browser, open office , .....

I want something very portable and light that will connect to displays and USB memory sticks to show work that has already been prepared.
I plan to use projectors installed in classrooms or supply my own nano-projector.   I see that some projectors accept video through a USB port.  I don't require high performance video.

Suggestions ?

Gus
