I have it on good authority that at the end of this month I will recieve a brand new Acer Aspire One D250. My only issue is that it comes with MS XP. Does anyone know if it will support Kubuntu and KDE?
Thanks

Re: Acer Aspire One D250
download a live disk and pop it in, if it does not have a cd drive you can use unetbooting to create a bootable usb drive from the cd (an sd card in a usb card reader would work too)Mark Your Solved Issues [SOLVED]

Re: Acer Aspire One D250
Thanks for the suggestion Sith, but I am hoping that someone has some real-world experience with this combination.
I don't know about you but I have found that what happens with a live CD may not be what happens with an actual install.Kubuntu 11.10<br />KDE 4.7.3<br />Athlon XP 2000<br />512 MB RAM<br />ATI 64MB Video<br />~11 year old system still kicking :>Comment

Re: Acer Aspire One D250
The crucial issue is whether any *buntu will run on an Atom N270 processor. I believe that it will, but I have no personal experience to support that belief.Comment

Re: Acer Aspire One D250
i have installed kubuntu (then ubuntu netbook) on to a friend of mine's aspireONE, i don't know the exact model but if it helps its was from the first batch of them (last year) with a 160 GB NON ssd drive. if the live cd works changes are that the installed version will also work.Mark Your Solved Issues [SOLVED]
