| Re: My review: Acer Aspire One & Ubuntu Netbook Remix I was sent home from work the other day with the A150 to play with, learn about then put Windows XP on it for the boss so he could buy it for his wife so she could use it.
I like these little machines, its a pitty I can't look at the screen on it for more than half an hour or my eyes begin to ache. I did find the Linpus distro very very limited, although if you just want to use whats on there its absolutley fine for the basic tasks, surfing the net, knoxking up a few documents etc.
Found it much faster than the 110 (which MSIC Has) that 120 gig HDD really does make the difference.
As for putting XP on it, that was a bit of a pain to be honest. I looked at doing it using a USB stick, couldn't be bothered with all the hassle and just butchered my old icy box HDD caddy seeing as that was in a state for the USB interface and did it with an old CD Rom drive on the USB port.
Quite a quick little machine, even with 512 megs of ram, but after spending time using it made me realise something that small isn't for me. |
