C/C++ programming using netbook

can i use a netbook(not laptop) to do programming? not just for typing the code but also for compiling, debugging, and building code.

i don't have a laptop or netbook but i want to buy one so that i can learn programming during my free time at work.

netbook is relatively cheaper so i wonder if i can use it instead of laptop
Of course you can, but it might take longer to compile your programs.
For small programs not heavily using Boost and STL, it should be ok. And a small screen is probably even better for a beginner - it forces to structure your program better (1000 LOC procedure on a 10'' screen or lines longer than 120 characters - no way) :D
