Ubuntu for ACER netbook

[shakeitbaby]

Hi,

I've got a small problem with select suit system for my netbook. Recently I had ASUS Eee PC and was big problem with a lot of drivers etc. Is it the same problem with ACER? Especially I think about acer aspire one aoa 150.
The other issue is efficiency - I work on this computer in AUTOCAD etc.
My favorite unix-system is UBUNTU. Is it possible that I'll meet the same problem as with my ASUS netbook?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, it's possible, but you'll have to try to find out.

Oh, so what do you think about install UBUNTU + WINDOWS XP on my netbook? I have just only 1GB RAM :(

The PAV 70 also has 1 GB of ram.
You shouldn't have any problems.

It is probably wise to set up your partitions using the windows partitioner prior to installing Ubuntu.

Why? Because of GRUB configuration?

Apparently,Windows sometimes has a problem with other partition managers shrinking a windows volume.
If you get the windows partition manager to do the job, it won't shrink it to a size that will cause problems.
