Acer Aspire One A150 Ab - entire agreeable at pres
 

I've been running the Powerpack version ofMandriva 2009 on my current Aspire One A150 (the one with a hard disk init) for several days now without a hitch - so I just thought I wouldtouch bottom to attempt Mandriva a bit of kudos. ,GHD Straighteners NZ
As far as I can narrate at this stage, anything about the laptop isworking as well for or better than it does below the elemental Lin##########stem. I've kept that on as a dual shoe discretion for immediately,GHD Pink Limited Edition, so I can makenecessary comparisons.

Actually there namely one exception to namely expression - the littlelight upon the telegraph above / off switch doesn't work. In fact the switchitself seems to work rather erratically but since I don't ever reallyneed to switch the wireless networking off I don't idea that.

My experience tends to confirm the reports that you absence a card ineach SD slot as Mandriva to find them properly. When I initiallytested the laptop with Mandriva One on one outer DVD pedal I didn'thave whichever cards in them and the system didn't appear to placard them. Ihaven't tested this thoroughly although so I don't understand for sure thatthis is the circumstance.

Wireless networking - as disapproved to the wireless on / off switch-has worked peerless by far. In fact it's extra authentic than it isunder Linpus,GHD Green Straighteners, where it sometimes doesn't come back afterward a halt. (Ihave got rid of kde4powersave and am using guidance power director , which seems to cope better with suspending).

On the subject of suspending to RAM, this works through all methods-point & press via the UI, closing the stopper alternatively the Fn + F4 keycombination. So far the machine has retrieved in faultless order everytime. Suspend to disk works too.

Reasons for not sticking with Linpus embody the following:

1. Linpus's very agreeable seeing desktop with Mac-like icons. It looksgreat,GHD Red Butterfly 2011, merely makes me feel favor I'm using a Vtech kids' notebook with alimited scope of features. The icon screens can be customized withsome effort, yet whether I install - mention - Gimp or Inkscape I don't want tomust edit the flaming menus myself.

2. It's distinctly tough or impossible to do some simplehousekeeping tasks like resetting the laptop's name. I don't likelooking at a final window with br>
3. I'm many happier leaving my package upgrade route in the hands ofthe Mandriva community than with Acer or whoever's responsible forLinpus - fair a case of familiarity I assume,GHD Hair, but better the demon youknow ...

There are probably other reasons that I haven't thought of. I've nostrong feelings against the Linpus operating system that's preinstalledon the laptop,GHD IV Straighteners, and if I couldn't have got Mandriva on the laptop Iwould still have been elated to run Linpus on it - infinitely betterthan the Windows XP on my wife's Eee PC.

Anyway, should my at present rosy experience of Mandriva on thismachine rotate sour I ambition report behind. But I am 100% satisfied up to now.
