I also have the Acer one with 160 GB. It came with windows xp etc but I
changed it to ubuntu remix booting from a usb using unetbootin. I have
now permanently installed it to the Acer and am a happy camper. I am
waiting for a KDE 4.2 remix version and then I will try that as I like
the new KDE4 but the remix was KDE 3.5.
