Welcome to the sensible Acer Aspire One owners club!

Mine’s running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, which I’d recommend upgrading to once it’s out of beta - it took a small amount of fiddling to speed it up, but works fine, and clearly better than the slightly baffling Linpus OS. Battery life is similar.

Quicktime support is available via VLC, which plays almost everything; CinePaint, RAWStudio and UFRaw al deal with RAW files fine - the latter is a plugin for the rather excellent Gimp photoshop-a-like.

Just a note that adding additional memory isn’t much fun. You need to open the unit up -completely-…
