==== Linpus ====
I started using the Linpus distribution coming pre-configured with the machine. Here is a [[linpus|page]] with some hints and suggestions relative to Linpus.
==== Ubuntu ====

After a while, I got so many problems running the native linux distribution and I decided to move to a more standard distribution. I pick up Ubuntu. [[ubuntu|Here]] is a page with the hints and suggestions concerning Ubuntu on AspireOne SSD.

==== Lucid netbook remix ====

After substituting the SSD with a normal disk (with a **HUGE** improvement in terms of performance), I eventually installed the Netbook version of Ubuntu 10.04. It works pretty fine out of the box. I installed a little bit more sw, to support normal university tasks: 
  * tex, latex, prosper, Kile, to edit papers 
  * subversion, gcc, libboost, to support program development
  * iverilog, gtkwave, to support development of computer architecture exercises
  * vnc, flash, to see different video formats 
  * truecrypt, to support crypted files (multiplatform)
  * wacom tools, to support wacom easy fun (pen & touch)
I'm still trying to have my Pegasus digital pen working with the driver found at [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pegasusscribble/|this link]]. It apparently works but only when button is pressed (mouse down) which does not look too much useful ...
