The Acer Aspire One mini-laptop uses a taiwanese Linux distribution called //Linpus Linux// ([[http://www.linpus.com]] is often down, check [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linpus_Linux|wikipedia]] for some info). The UI, though customized, is based on Xfce. For a little bit of an introduction to the device, have a look at [[http://blog.xfce.org/?p=184|Jasper's blog post]]. | The Acer Aspire One mini-laptop uses a Taiwanese Linux distribution called //Linpus Linux// ([[http://www.linpus.com]] is often down, check [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linpus_Linux|wikipedia]] for some info).

| Note to the xfdesktop developers: the xfdesktop2 program is in a [[ftp://Guest@csdftp.acer.com.tw/Aspire_One_Linpus_Linux/Aspire_One_Srpms/xfdesktop-acer-lp-1526.no_spot.mcs_patched.src.rpm|"source" RPM]]. However, I can't seem to find the actual source code for the binary. Running ''xfdesktop2 --version'' on the Aspire One indicates that it is based off of xfdesktop. If the source for these modifications cannot be found, then this sounds like a GPL violation. |
