I have an Acer Aspire One (the one with the 160gb hard drive and 1gb of ram)
that I bought just about exactly one year ago, and I love it.   I mostly use it
for reading ebooks and as a network test rig on service calls for the cable
tv/Internet/telephone company that I do some occasional work for.

I booted it up once with the Windows XP that came with it to be sure that it
worked, then reformatted it and installed Fedora 10 on it.   I have since
upgraded it to Fedora 11.

Recently the wifi light on the front of the keyboard magically started
working.  It never worked before but a kernel upgrade somewhere along the line
must have added support for the light.  The wifi itself works fine.
