Kaiwai has written down
his experiences with his Acer Aspire One, Linux, and Windows. He concludes:
"After a hectic few weeks trying to get Linux to work, I am back to square one again - a netbook running Windows XP SP3 as it was provided by Acer when I purchased it. I gave three different distributions a chance to prove themselves. I expected all three distributions to wipe the floor with Windows XP - after all, these are the latest and greatest distributions the Linux world have to offer. There has been at least 7 years since the release of Windows XP for Linux to catch up to Windows XP and from my experience with Linux on this said device - it has failed to step up to the plate when it was needed."

I purchased a blue Linpus AAOne back in October and dealt with Linpus up until a month ago; switched to Eeebuntu and never looked back.
Shame on Acer for the lack of upgrades.
