"On Wednesday, an Acer spokesperson told ZDNet UK that the
10-inch Aspire One "will be available with XP or Linux, and HDD or
SSD", and confirmed that the Linux distribution would be Linpus.
However, buyers will not have these options in the initial release
of the netbook, which will launch in mid-February and cost
£299.
"The SSD will have a capacity of 16GB. There is, as yet, no
launch date or pricing for the Linux flavour of the machine."
