A few days ago, chatting with a friend and former classmate, told me I should write an article on Linux and Netbooks. And in response to this comment, here we are, typing:)

I drive a netbook, an Acer Aspire One (AOA150) of those who bring Windows XP preinstalled. Of course, mine no longer brings that operating system rather than a very small partition in order to keep the license if you sell the equipment later.

I must say that works amazingly well, with his gig of RAM, 160GB disk and dual-core Atom processor, not asking much to a team twice the price and maybe even triple the price. Perhaps only the vertical resolution and lack of optical drive.

Well, after a time laaaargo not writing, it's time to put something new which is very exciting. This is something small, but brilliant. Yes, I'm talking about the-relatively-new Acer Aspire One

This is one of the new netbooks, very small computers with low power consumption and high processing power for the small size. The verdict: Great.

On labor issues had to buy a little from them, and after being satisfied with the terms of the hardware (check either your monitor, with navy blue screens, to detect pixels burned), I got my Acer One white, the disc brings 160gb hard drive with 1GB of RAM.

This computer has an Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz and dual core (with cat / proc / cpuinfo can see two processors detected), an Intel integrated video sufficient for something, with maximum resolution of 1024x600.

It has webcam and microphone, dual card reader, one only reads SD and the other reads SD, MMS and many more. Working demo of wonder, I installed Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10), with which detects almost everything, he lacked only the wireless network, but with an upgrade to the latest kernel (available in the Ubuntu repositories for automatic installation) was settled .

The sound of hair pulling, suspension, hibernation and pull perfect recovery, with few additional steps the LED monitor the wifi works perfectly, and its velocity is unexpectedly good, really fast, even faster than my old HP DV1125LA.

The good: Connects via USB 1.1 or 2.0, 20GB of storage, MP3 records analog or digital integrated microphone, simple file transfer, intuitive operation.


The bad: Bigger and heavier than the iPod, not burns WAV.

If you need a lot of music at your fingertips and you hate overloaded interfaces, this device is for you.
