Yesterday I splashed out on a new toy - the Acer Aspire One netbook, the Linpus Lite version with 1GB ram, and a 120GB Hard Drive. It's a very nice little machine and ideal for a first time user, but the OS is rather limited.
I've checked the Howto install Ubuntu on it at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne and at face value it looks pretty daunting. If it all goes pear shaped it seems that I've got no means of recovering the original OS because of the lack of CD drive on the machine. So before I commit myself, can any of our readers who may have already accomplished the feat tell me how successful/useable the installation has proved to be. Many thanks, Keith. --- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffs, England.
