Sounds like maybe this could be a good learning experience. Puppy, as
was suggested, or #!CrunchBang (My favorite netbook distro) or Ubuntu
Netbook Remix perhaps...
Installing is easy... a lot easier than installing Windows in my
experience. Though that statement only applies to current distros...
that was not always the case ;-)
+1 on Scott's suggestion of running df -h from a command line, if you
aren't sure which hard disk you have, Sharon.
However, I wonder if there's not a bit of miscommunication here... Sharon said:
Model name: Aspire one
OS: Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.6.E
CPU: Intel(R) Atom CPU N270 @ 1.6 GHz
System memory: 8 GB
BIOS version: v0.319
I paid out the nose for a full sized laptop with 4GB of memory...
I have a feeling that what she posted "System Memory: 8GB" is actually
the storage space, not RAM.
Unless Acer snuck one in... I'd have gotten that over my Lenovo S10 if
I could get 8GB of ram in it ;-)
Cheers,
Jeff
