Back to Linpus on my Acer Aspire One
After a few months of trying a few different operating systems I’ve decided to go back and reinstall Linpus on my Acer Aspire One.
I’ve tried Linpus, Windows XP, Ubuntu and EeeBuntu, and without a doubt Linpus is the quickest and most user friendly system.
Windows XP struggled reading and writing to the expansion SSD, and both versions on Ubuntu stuttered frequently when in use.

good news. as a linpus user i enjoy the programs you find
I agree, I tried Ubuntu and Mint and ended up going back to Linpus, due to speed of bootup, stability and things like both SD card slots working fine.
Great site and blog BTW.
I have to agree. The alternatives to Linpus are too slow and far from perfect. After I changed the orginal 8g SSD drive for the more modern and substanially faster Supertalent 32g SSD, Linux linpus works like a dream.
Hi Robert
Have you tried Mint linux running the Fluxbox front end.
It works very well on the AA1
Have a look at http://netbook-experience.com/2010/03/how-to-install-mint-linux-8-fluxbox-on-the-acer-aspire-one/

Just stumbled across this site when I found one of my old posts on it (for adding an icon on the desktop for spotify). I just read this page too and as an aspire one user I can say I did the same thing after removing linpus and did go back to it after a while. BUT: Later i went away from it again because i found the perfect netbook os that runs like a dream on the aspire one: Jolicloud! check it out! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!
Many Thanks. I’ll check out that version of linux on my aa1
