Hey,
guess what ?? today i purchased my first ever laptop and its Acer Aspire One :) Went in the evening to Nehru place with Sunder (my colleague in the office) and brought it. Its configuration is quiet good for what one could expect from a laptop that comes for just Rs. 17550/ Yes, i brought it for that much. I brought the blue one with Linux as the Operating System. It has 1 Gig of RAM, 160 gigs of hard-disk, Ethernet, Wifi, Web-cam, Speakers, audio-jacks, microphone, USB, card-readers, the screen is just 8.9 inches, which can be a problem in some situations. Lets hope those situations don't come.
The first thing i did after coming home was to have a look at the accompanying documents, although i did not read them, and then i screwed the system in just 30 minutes. Now, I am not able to boot in the gui nor to the command line. It's kinda sad, but i cannot blame anyone else except for me. Actually i was just trying to find out which kernel version was used, what is the desktop environment (i have never seen like this ever), which distribution etc. I was quiet successful in my attempts, before i screwed up everything; like i came to know that they used Fedora 8 (werewolf) to build the kernel(kernel version 2.6.something), used XFCE as the desktop enviorment, and some Acer customized packages.
So, i am back again to ground zero, using my friends machine to write this post, but i'll fix it soon. I am planning to install Fedora 10 on it with all the eye candies. I'll do the installation tomorrow..........
