I've just bought myself an Acer Aspire One, after originally wanting to go with the Samsung NC10.
The Acer however was £100 cheaper, and that's the 120GB hard drive model (PC World, £199 in store, plus they give you a £10 gift voucher!).
I know that it comes with Linpus Linux Lite, which seems generally well integrated with the hardware, however i also wanted to try something like Ubuntu Remix.
Is it easy enough to dual boot the two?

I'm no Linux expert, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Dual-booting Windows isn't that hard, so I figure doing the same with Linux oughta be simple enough--I would think GRUB could handle it easily. But I could be wrong; as I said, I'm no expert on Linux.
yup, you can mulitiboot as many as you please...

It ought to be reasonably simple, considering the partition layout of the thing
Easy if your happy repartitioning the hard disk in the ubuntu installer.
Follow the instructions here for an idea how to setup grub to dual boot. If you get stuck send me a pm - i've messed about with dual boot grub quite a bit.
