I just got a MSI Wind N270 netbook, and I wanted to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix as a side OS. I want to do this, but not replace Windows. I am pretty technological, but I would prefer the simplest solution.

Ubuntu 8.04.1 on Acer Aspire One.

I replaced the AspireOne Linpus Lite as I cannot find the network sharing and other things. Though I must admit that Linpus Lite has the upperhand in terms of loading time, 15 secs vs. 40+ secs. But in terms of features, i’d go for ubuntu.

UPDATE: 071808
Before you jump on installing the ubuntu or ubuntu netbook remix, here are the flaws:
1. no mic drivers
2. suspend mode not working
3. default ubuntu wifi driver don’t work. you need to use madwifi drivers, which is not really easy to install for casual pc users.
4. 40+ sec boot-up time

Anyway, after considering all of these flaws against the loading time of Linpus, which you can now enable advance settings(or the actual settings) via a simple option, i reverted to the original Acer linpus lite.

I have tested an XP on Aspire One too. here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD7updNzKgQ
