    I would steer well clear of linpus. Go for the much better ubuntu unetbook remix.

    Kernal panic or shake was the error
  • I bought the basic Acer Aspire One model, which means Linpus and Firefox.
    I have noticed that my 3g mobile broadband runs faster on this AA1 than it does under XP and IE on a larger ACER.

    https://www.aspireoneuser.com has a lot of useful information.

    I bought an Acer Aspire One, and he had Linpus. I hated him and called him George. Then I installed Ubuntu netbook remix, and we tolerate each other.
