To supplement storage space with the initial purchase of the Aspire One (8 GB SSD version), I bought a 16 GB Transcend TS16GBSDHC6 card that integrates nicely into the left card slot. The pre-installed Linux Linpus just wasn't what I needed since I use many networking tools at work and at home. I initially ran Ubuntu 8.041 with the /home partition on the 16 GB SDHC card. I discovered Eeebuntu while searching for information on how to boot and run Linux off a SDHC card. The goal was of multi-boot installations of Ubuntu, with one install specifically loaded with the tools I use at work. The Acer Aspire One BIOS does not 'see' the card, so you can't boot from it using the [F12] startup key (More on the SDHC boot up further in this article).

Your parents probably couln't install anything on Windows either.
If they can't use synaptic, how do you expect them to install windows software and type a long string of random characters to activate it after registering email and account on the web site? And all that without getting any virus or getting their credit card number stolen in the process?
Linpus linux, JUST LIKE ANY OS, requires learning to be used with full power. It's not any harder than Windows, it really isn't. It is just that you aren't used to it.
Now just try to install Windows on a SDHC and tell me how easy it is...
