Acer Aspire One Review

,----[ Quote ]
| The Aspire One comes preinstalled with Linpus Linux, which in turn is based 
| on Fedora Core 8. I’m not really a fan of rpm distributions, but Acer have 
| tuned this installation to the point where it will resume from suspend in 
| around 10 seconds, and cold boot to the desktop in less than 20 seconds, so 
| I’m reluctant to change.

"There's a lot of Linux out there -- much more than Microsoft generally signals
publicly -- and their customers are using it..."

Acer: Aspire One HSDPA support is imminent

,----[ Quote ]
| Right now, the Linux version of the AA1 won't support a USB HSDPA modem out
| of the box - though there's a flyer in the package that invites owenrs to
| download code that will allow the Small, Cheap Computer to do so.
|
| So far, though, Acer has yet to release the code.
|
| The Connection Manager utility works, Perenz told Register Hardware, and is
| now undergoing final testing ahead of its release.
|
| In the meantime, some AA1 owners have turned to a Linux version of Vodafone's
| Mobile Connect in a bid to get their SCCs connecting at mobile broadband
| speeds. However, the utility doesn't support all the available HSPDA modems,
| only those resold by the carrier.
