New - Acer Aspire One ZG5 (White) Linpus Linux - Great OldManIT Bargain Sale!

First Impressions

The first time I held this machine in my hand (yes hand - it is that small) I was wowed. It is a small laptop. It sports decent keyboard real estate - I can almost type at top speed while writing this - and it has a decent sized screen. My first impression is that this is more of a “real” notebook than the toy that the Asus EEEPC seemed to me the first time I encountered one.

First impressions are largely positive.

First Boot

It boots quick. This makes it ideal for trips on the train or in the back of a cab on the way to the airport. The interface is simple, Linpus has a simplistic user interface based on the XFCE window manager - it has some Gnome gadgets running under the skin to add extra functionality. It is definitely aimed at the less knowledgeable user who only needs to do the basics. If this were mine I would be loading Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

This is a very neat DEMO unit. Still has the box - NO SCRATCHES - Prefect condition! Great present! WHITE.
