-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).

 +Notes to the Xfce 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.
 +  * Thunar and it's modifications are missing completely
 +If the sources for these modifications cannot be found, then this sounds like a GPL violation.
 +
 +Notes to the kernel or alsa developers:
 +   *alsa-driver and modifications to the sound/pci/hda/*  are missing completely. There is /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/kernel/sound/fmalib.ko module, which handle digital microphone input and do a local dynamics echo canceliation, and which sources are completely absent too. If you try to build sound drivers from kernel sources, then there is no sound on build-in dynamics. Only external jack is supported by this drivers. fmalib.ko is ForteMedia sound library and have following text inside binary: ForteMedia SAM-Soft loaded, SAMSoft library init, SAMSoft library free. This sounds like a GPL violation too.
