Acer Aspire One Keyboard settings

I have just got hold of one of these netbooks and I am trying to get on line. I can't seem to access the @ key when I type in my email address. I thought I had set it up right but now I am not sure
I don't know if this helps but it came with Linux as the OS

Anyone know the solution for me

Thanks

    you need to press shift+2.

    i don't know exactly what variant of linux it uses, but i'll try and find a way to change the keyboard layout

    edit: try this method: click on settings > keyboard Layout > change it to the UK layout.
