Learners Corner Linux
X213a -I'm now in exactly the same position -My former dual boot net book. An Acer One - I had a disaster when trying to fix a corrupted Ubuntu update on Fri last.
I ran computer janitor against the systems prompts and got a broken linix install - Urub would not work and I don't have a Windows recovery disk to correct the MBR. (just the factory re install option.)
I bit the bullet and did a full install of 9.04 not 9.10.
It runs OK. So far - An Atom/1GB/160 MB HD.
Don't be tempted to tweek the hardware device drivers re Wireless - I did - idiot of the week. Also search for an app called sbackup or simple backup - its a little gem.
Take a look for firestarter too - A firewall for linux.
Ubuntu 9.04 is proving to be a nice little runner. I will keep everyone informed of my progress.
