This Acer Aspire comes with Linpus Linux software. To be honest, this the software is a little complicated and is not user friendly. If you are not familiar and do not use Linux that hard, this operating system will not do good for you. The thing is, you have to be familiar with the basic commands of the linux.

However, the recommended software for this laptop is VISTA. Even the drivers that comes with it are VISTA ready. So if you are planning to use XP on this laptop, you may have to spend a little more time downloading the drivers on the net.

My Personal Feedback

This laptop is really sleak in its design. Crystal clear camera with a crystal clear monitor. This may be the trademark of the Acer art.

What I just don't like with this laptop is the very limited USB port. It has ONLY 2, AS IN TWO USB PORTS. In my case, the other USB port is damaged, so I cannot also use it. Shew... anyway, I must admit that I am still really enjoying this really nice laptop.

Another thing that I do not like with this laptop is the mediocre sound. Comparing it to DELL Presario, DELL is still ahead in its technology when it comes to laptop sound.

So if I have to grade this laptop, I will grade it with 4 out of 5, 5 being the highest.

Partnering it with UBUNTU Linux

Well, I really like UBUNTU Linux. I really have no problem running all the softwares in this laptop upon my installation of UBUNTU Linux except for some problems that may involve hardware-driver supports.

Here are the things that you will really have to work on:

Video playing. Since some of the drivers of intel especially the new hardware supports is not yet supported with some linux operating systems including ubuntu. Though I tried checking the internet though, i found out that OpenSUSE and Mandriva. But since I am using UBUNTU, boy, even until now that I am writing this, I still cannot play video here because all my other programs running including my desktop freezes except for my mouse cursor.

WIFI Problem. As I said many hardware used in this laptop are still new to market and because of that, many most linux softwares does not yet support these hardwares. Maybe we only have to wait for a few more months....

Camera. Well, there is really nothing wrong in running the acer built in camera in this laptop using UBUNTU. However, the resolution and the output is mediocre in comparison to that if you are using XP or Vista. But again, Ubuntu might be far more better than that of Windows in the near future.

Over all, I love this laptop while having the linux ubuntu installed. It's just there are some problems that needs to be resolved.:)) And if I will have to choose between Linux and Windows, I will still choose Linux.

Getting my hands on UBUNTU: Linux for REAL Human Beings

I guess everybody really loves FREE. When it comes to software resources, I would really grade this Operating System with a staggering 10 as the highest.

5 years ago, I tried using Ubuntu. But Ubuntu during those times are still ugly. You will still have to mount the your humble USB manually. It requires lot of knowledge first before you will be able to use Ubuntu effectively.

But guess what, time has changed after 4 years. Try Ubuntu now, and you will really see what I am saying. Here are just some nice modifications that you can see in this great software.

Easy program installation. This new feature will allow you to EASILY download programs from the net easily.

More FREE Softwares. My favorite. Ubuntu has hundreds of FREE open softwares that you can download right away.

Better graphics. I really love the new backgrounds that Ubuntu is now using.

More Games. Many don't use linux because of the lack of games. Well, to be honest, linux really lacks graphical games. But in fairness, today, Ubuntu linux has GAMES. Of course you cannot still play games like NBA and other window games. But, some of the graphix (video card based) based games are now playable in Ubuntu. It is safe to say that Ubuntu is no longer a boring software.

Free GIMP. GIMP is an open software that can work as an Adobe Photoshop in linux. I'm just not so sure if it has a feature like the Photoshop that can work with ecovers. I think this is might be the only lacking thing that GIMP has to develop. Developers should work more on developing features that can really help and make the works of Web designers and internet marketers easier.

There are more in Ubuntu. I suggest that you try it now and tell the difference.

Important Tips and Links!!!

My mom became interested in SBI! about a year after I started my first site. Since then she's been working on her own sites which are now bringing in a nice monthly income for her. Many people ask me about how I earn a living. They're all curious... lots of questions and a sparkle in their eye as they think about how they could do it too... and they could! In truth though, most of them don't. So seeing my mom go ahead and create her own success is incredible!"

"I was skeptical that I could get the visual feel that I wanted with a template-based builder. Little did I realize that SBI does not limit you to templates -- I had the option to "start from scratch" to create my own Web page elements for a truly one-of-a-kind look. I took the plunge -- "jumped in with both feet", as you say -- and as you can see, I used the SBI builder to make a beautiful site. I was surprisingly impressed with the flexibility of the builder."
