Mmm, doesn't give us much to go on .. just to put into context, there are about 150 mobile phones that run Linux as an operating system before we even get close to computers.

Your mini-book is probably (?) a "net-book" and will , somewhere on the case , tell you at the very least who made it and probably which model it is.

If linux.co.uk were to offer a Netbook with a SUPPORTED 3G connection, would you be interested?
