Acer Aspire One, Linux, and Windows

Long-time OSAlert reader Kaiwai has written down his experiences with his Acer Aspire One, Linux, and Windows. He concludes: “After a hectic few weeks trying to get Linux to work, I am back to square one again – a netbook running Windows XP SP3 as it was provided by Acer when I purchased it. I gave three different distributions a chance to prove themselves. I expected all three distributions to wipe the floor with Windows XP – after all, these are the latest and greatest distributions the Linux world have to offer. There has been at least 7 years since the release of Windows XP for Linux to catch up to Windows XP and from my experience with Linux on this said device – it has failed to step up to the plate when it was needed.”
