Opera web browser.

Not only you can “compress” all fields (adress field, tabs, buttons, menu) placed usually above webpage to one bar (which is sorta expected feature nowadays), getting compact UI.

Also:

a) it has superbly working “fit to width” function for webpages that wouldn't otherwise fit horizontally on small netbook screens (and zoom feature works well in tandem with it)

b) complete navigation by keyboard

c) it is generally very light on resources…usual CPUs and amounts of RAM found in netbooks are plenty even with really large number of tabs

d) Opera 10 has Opera Turbo feature, which considerably lowers amount of data transmitted and speeds up browsing on mobile connections.

Anjal, trust me, this is one of the better ones out there.

I use a screencast app name Krut and the identi.ca/twitter client on my Mandriva2009/KDE4 netbook is Choqok.
And no, I dont know how you say it but more than one person have asked what's that Choke-Cock program do on my netbook.

And if you thought calling the OS by its kernel name, Linux, is confusing (and Gnu-Linux just doesnt slide off the tongue), how about Google who will call their inexistant OS the same name as their browser, Chrome?
