Acer Zg5 Drivers Windows 7Install Ubuntu On Acer Aspire

Since there is so much community documentation for the Acer Aspire One. Aspire One A150 / ZG5 (Ubuntu 10.04. Acer Euro FTP - Contains software and. Aspire One netbook and Linux. Both ran like a charm on the Acer Aspire One D270 with full hardware support in the software. Ubuntu required the Restricted Extras. Resources for getting Ubuntu running optimally on the Acer Aspire One netbook.

I got an Aspire One netbook for Christmas and after browsing around about Windows 7, I found that many people prefer Linux over Windows and this has tempted me to try Linux instead. I've always been a Windows user so I would like to try something new for a change.

What I would like to know is is Linux compatible with my netbook? The model I have is the D270-1466. Does anyone have this specific netbook who has installed Linux onto it? My netbook will mainly be used for the internet, music and as a word processor. In case this info is needed, my netbook has the Atom N2600(1.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache) with 1 GB DDR3 Memory and a 320 HDD.

Thank you so much! I'll look into it a little more before going through with it but it's good to know which version to use instead of just trying anything. When I first looked into Linux, some people said that Linux wasn't very compatible with the processor in this netbook which is why I wanted to ask about it first before going through with anything. So changing the OS won't affect anything like the screen resolution or anything along those lines? When I go through with this, I might be sending you a PM or two for help. I hope that won't be a problem.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Aspire One I just ordered (not the same model as yours), and I'm going to wipe Windows and install Linux immediately upon receipt. (In fact, I'm going to try to boot to a Linux USB drive and make a backup of the hard disk in an unbooted state.) I've never used, but right now it's the most popular distro, so it probably is indeed a good choice.

My favorite distro is, though I'm thinking of installing something else. Maybe Mint because it's popular. Maybe Debian because it's very stable. Maybe Vector Linux because I've wanted to try it. Maybe PCLinuxOS because I used to use it and ran it continuously for something like 9 months without ever rebooting it. (Try that with Windows!) I think it's wrong to say Linux is more complicated to use than Windows.

It's definitely harder to get started, because Windows is already installed and Linux isn't. But once you get it up and running, it's at least as easy to use. I suffer through Windows all day at work (though at least I have to keep me sane) and several distros of Linux at home. Linux is superior. BTW, Arch Linux has a page devoted to. Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread. I didn't expect any new posts!

I still haven't installed it yet. I'm still reading up on it but it is tempting me more and more because from what I've read, it's more suited for customizing it to how you want it unlike Windows where you get things you really don't need or want. The one that appeals to me is the XCFE version. Tekken 7 Webeely .com. One thing I did find is that while it wasn't on the Linuxmint forums, I did come across some people who said that Linux doesn't work on the Acer model that I have. Well, they only mentioned the D270 so whether it is the exact model I have or a different one, I can't say.

They mentioned something about and xserver. I might go onto the forums to ask some questions about it. Two of them being about changing the desktop wallpaper and changing the mouse pointers. I like being able to customize those two things and I don't know if it's possible to do that in Linux Mint.

Ken, did you install Linux yet? How did it turn out for you?

Thanks for the link to. I'll check it out. Thank you for the offer, Tracey. I won't call but I just may drop you a PM when the time comes that I finally go through with this. Rose7 wrote: Ken, did you install Linux yet? How did it turn out for you?

Thanks for the link to. I'll check it out. Yes, I installed because they aim for stability over rapid development. Their installation procedure is very smooth. I had intended to simply wipe Windows7 off the disk, but I decided to shrink its partition and install Linux in a smaller partition, since I've never used 100GB on any machine, and this hard disk is 250GB.
