Linux

Models with names starting in L, or ending in A followed by a letter for 
color, are shipped with Linpus Linux Lite, which is based on Fedora Core 8[7]
[8] This offers a simplified user interface, with default applications like 
the Firefox 2 browser, OpenOffice.org 2.3, Acer One Mail and Acer One 
Messenger available directly on the main screen. The default desktop 
environment has been designed to hide advanced features from the user and to 
prevent modification. However, it is still possible to modify it to present a 
more traditional Xfce 4 desktop, enable more advanced features such as 
context menus, or install additional software.[9]

It is possible to install and run other Linux distributions on the Acer Aspire 
One, and some specially customised Linux distributions have been designed to 
offer out-of-the-box functionality. These include Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR), 
Linux4One,[10], Kuki Linux[11] and Moblin[12]. Other distributions of the 
Linux operating system will also run, such as Fedora,[13] Debian, Mandriva 
Linux,[14] Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio,[15][16][17] Eeebuntu,[18] openSUSE,[19] and 
Linux Mint.
