Linux<br>
<br>
Models with names starting in L, or ending in A followed by a letter for<br>
color, are shipped with Linpus Linux Lite, which is based on Fedora Core 8[7]<br>
[8] This offers a simplified user interface, with default applications like<br>
the Firefox 2 browser, OpenOffice.org 2.3, Acer One Mail and Acer One<br>
Messenger available directly on the main screen. The default desktop<br>
environment has been designed to hide advanced features from the user and to<br>
prevent modification. However, it is still possible to modify it to present a<br>
more traditional Xfce 4 desktop, enable more advanced features such as<br>
context menus, or install additional software.[9]<br>
<br>
It is possible to install and run other Linux distributions on the Acer Aspire<br>
One, and some specially customised Linux distributions have been designed to<br>
offer out-of-the-box functionality. These include Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR),<br>
Linux4One,[10], Kuki Linux[11] and Moblin[12]. Other distributions of the<br>
Linux operating system will also run, such as Fedora,[13] Debian, Mandriva<br>
Linux,[14] Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio,[15][16][17] Eeebuntu,[18] openSUSE,[19] and<br>
Linux Mint.<br>
