I'm thinking of getting one of these and putting linux on it, http://cgi.ebay.ca/7-Mini-Laptop-Ne...03472277?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item2564b68195
Is it worth it?

Is there any hope for moving a .Net control app onto a linux platform?.
For the same price, you could get a WRT54G router that will run Linux and is serial capable with a bit of tinkering. For twice the price, you can have a NSLU2 (again, some tinkering required, but less than with the router). For that same $100, you can get a SheevaPlug or GuruPlug that already has Ubuntu Linux installed. I'd spring for the SheevaPlug. The GuruPlug looks like it has a serious overheating issue.
Take a look at mono. I don't have any real experience with it, but it may be a place to start.

I see Yuri beat me to it.
You're going to have the same problems with that Android based netbook as the other one with Windows CE. They're the same basic architecture. Because you require a display, I highly recommend finding an x86-based used laptop that will ship to your area.
