| The keyboard is too cramped, but this mini-notebook’s sleek Ubuntu Netbook 
| Remix operating system and solid endurance give it a fighting chance.

Using GNOME on a Small Screen

,----[ Quote ]
| My preferred course of action was to 'unlock' the default Linpus 
| installation. While this unlocking process is documented quite well on the 
| AcerAspireOne.com community website, it's not a single process per se; you 
| need to unlock several things, and Acer hasn't exactly made it easy. 
| Somewhere in the process I made a mistake, and before I knew it, I was 
| receiving HAL errors that proved unfixable. Fed up, I decided to go with 
| Ubuntu. The installation and optimisation process is well documented and easy 
| enough to accomplish. This gave me the default Ubuntu desktop on my One, and 
| I figured I would share some screenshots with you so you get an idea of how 
| GNOME handles smaller screens.

Windows XP is known to have problems when it comes to screen scaling. It's too
rigid.

Invasion of the Netbooks: New systems from Asus, Acer, and Sylvania

,----[ Quote ]
| Sylvania g netbook: It's superlight and weighs less than 2 pounds. It's a lot
| like the original Eee PC, in that it's $399, and it has a 7-inch screen, plus
| a custom Linux operating system. It has a 30GB standard hard drive (good)
| and, like the HP 2133 Mini-Note, a 1.2GHz VIA C7 CPU, instead of Intel's Atom
| or even Celeron M (not so good).
