Linpus on XP: Can I install the same Linpus OS that comes with the Linux version of the Acer One, on to the Windows XP version of the Acer One, and be able to dual boot?

yes you can. Setting up the dual boot is a solidly intermediate nerd process and you should be prepared to spend a full weekend at it, even having to restart the process 1/2 way through if you screw up, potentially even more than once. If you don't think you would find this process both frustrating AND enjoyable (and simply frustrating) do not do it, you will be sorry. You will need to spend and some preparation time downloading software and getting either an external cd drive setup of ripping cds to usb sticks. I get my aspire one next week and will be be setting up the same dual boot system after adding a gig of ram, a new wifi card, a bigger drive and a touch screen. Here's the best resource I've found, although I hope to find a much better one. http://leonuys.wordpress.com/2008/11/17/making-my-acer-aspire-one-dual-boot/

Yes, you can dual boot with almost any system. I currently do this very same thing.

Got a bad news for you sir. You can run dual OS in one computer but you have to have your window xp and window 7 disc. You first need to install window xp and in the partition section, make it half of you hdd(non partition part not included). Then run window 7 and partition the remaining space ledt on your hdd. You can you a virual machine to run XP stuff but virual machine is VERY low and it depends on if you CPU, RAM and HDD can handle it or not

Easy easy easy yes you can on both. First you need a bootable USB with the operating system on it or a cloning program. Here, check out the clean install video I made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16m25etC3lo

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

O just saw the first post not all there. Heres the rest.. I am also looking forward to "PicUntu" which will allow a linux android dual boot. With "linux PicUntu" the issues with flash support and the websites like cbs,hulu recognizing the pc as android, and thereby blocking the device, should no longer be an issue simce i would see picuntu, a version of Ubuntu, instead. But there is no timetable as to when it will be ready for the average customer. Another poster mentioned slatedroid for articles referring to picuntu. So i continue to wait.

It comes pre-installed with Linpus Linux. However, it comes available only as a command-line prompt - not a desktop operating system. You will have to install an operating system (a Linux Distro, Windows, etc) to enable the functionality that you need. I installed the Ubuntu Linux desktop distribution on mine as an example.

You can always install Windows 8, just like Unbuntu or whatever, no worries

I don't think so. its seems you are set up with a dual operating systems you have the choise of booting to windows 7 or linux mint but you vcan not run both operating system at the same time.

Yes you can, it uses MST, which is not dependent on os, just video card/drivers.

Cannot honestly answer that one. Works in Windows and Mac OS - just don't know it the version of Linus you have includes the USB drivers for the device. Vendor would be better able to answer that question.

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

9 times out of 10 most anything from hp will work with linux(linpus) because the driver support for hp is very good under linux

It is 64 bit. I am using opensuse 64 bit and it works fine.Do not even think of putting windows on it. The linpus Linux that it comes with is worthless

You know what I'm curious of. If you can upgrade it to Windows Vista. My brother keeps saying I'll have to do it eventually and I wonder about that if what he says is true. Though with the introduction of so many netbooks carrying XP to the market, I wonder what Microsoft is going to do about their plans to stop updating XP.

It has a standard Ubuntu install, so if you can install it in Ubuntu, you have it on the Utilite

Yes. I also did the very same thing. However, I only use my XP laptop for my older programs that there are no newer versions on the market. I use my Windows 7 / Linux laptop for everything else.
