The software side is not so nice: The pre-installed "Linux", allegedly a Fedora-based system is the most minimal thing you can imagine. Kernel 2.6.x, no GUI, no package manager, not a compiler, network card is not recognized. Completely useless, I have no idea what this handle will bring in the toilet of a distribution to the end user. Perhaps nothing preinstall, or even a viable distribution.
Regardless, the next is always formatted and Windows 7 32bit installed (as just lying around).
The installation goes well, but when the driver procurement it is more complicated. Network drivers are also not recognized by Windows said, neither Ethernet nor wireless. The accompanying "Resource CD" shows "Driver" (and all other categories) Just looking at a gaping void. For "Internet is Neuland-users" here is therefore already Feierabend.
The Ethernet port can be brought by the device manager and manually searching the Driver folder of the CD and running.
So you go to the Acer website to get there the rest of the drivers for the model number. Also not so easy: at first there seems to be several revisions, which it will Touchpad driver of ELAN, Synaptics and other colleagues, network drivers from Broadcom, Atheros, etc. offered. Have fun trying - moment, the download servers are currently offline.
Doable. Everything already easily seen. 3 stars.
