@MrLuks95 The SSD drive used instead of a hard disc.

I'm buying my One in a couple weeks, and i'm really excited about the whole Compiz stuff, I have Ubuntu Jaunty on my desktop, but it won't run Compiz or anything with 3D.... it has an old Sis graph card and since Sis don't have support for ubuntu... I can't wait to have my own One =D

I had installed Ubuntu on my acer one but drained the heck out of my battery and was a bit buggy still so now I'm stuck with XP and looking into eeexubuntu..

[shingabo]

do you know how to remove ubuntu from this notebook?

[123jesse123]

you mean just the operating system or wipe the harddrive completley? if you have, say, vista and ubuntu on seperate partitions then youll have to use delete the one with ubuntu on it i htink, try asking the people on ubuntuforums they are awesome.

[roxorz34]

[kyrokeroh]

As roxorz34 says, it depends what model of the aspire one you have.

[Amebixfan]

is this the Aspire one with the intel X3100 card?

[linuxguyt]

Very Nice! It seems to run quite speedy too. How long does it take to boot up so it is usable?

[XxScHw4RtZxX]

eh it takes a while to boot sometimes, but i use it more than windows vista premium... i have 5GB RAM and quad core 2.4GHz 256mb dual video cards lol but ubuntu is so fun and fast
