Hands on Acer’s Aspire One is ready to go out of the box, but if you’ve opted for the Linux version and you’re new to the OS, you may be wondering how to started. Here are ten things to try.
Before we start, a warning. Later tips involve working with Linux configuration files, which do not take kindly to errors. Check your typing very carefully, particularly spaces and capital letters, and only proceed if you’re comfortable. Back up your data, and ensure you have a recovery disk on stand-by. We’ve done our best to check the text below, but we won’t be held responsible if your AA1 crashes and data is lost. Nothing here will damage your machine or void your warranty - at worst, you’ll have to reinstall the OS using the Recovery Disc that comes with the AA1.

I followed the instructions in Tweak #4 to install GIMP. The installation went fine, but the program will not run. I get an error message saying that ‘gimp’ is version 2.4.0, but ‘libgimp’ is version 2.4.6, and they must be the same version to work.
Thanks a lot for all this!
Skype is loaded, gimp is loaded and run well. I got a little problem with VLC. I downloaded the Fedura 7 well. May be I must “unzip” it? The command respond well with many line excep the 3 last one witch were Error… One more time I had a lot of fun to customise my desktop, it works very well! Thanks! I wait for your advice on “VLC” installation!
Wanted to install Gimp. selected add/remove software.was asked for password. As far as I know I never submitted a password of any kind yet,but cannot proceed w/o one. How can I find the password which I apparently entered. Obviously I no nothing about Linux. Help if you can. Thanks, Bill.
When you boot up the Aspire One for the first time, after selecting the language, it prompts you to enter a password. Take a look at the Quick Guide that came with the One, and look at page 8, bullet 2.
