We'd be happy to tell you what Linux is "about," but we're going to need a more specific question than that. For some boilerplate intro to Linux Q&A, you might try this thread:

Which netbook is it? I bought an eeePC and it is great! I managed to connect using wifi and 3g in the first attempt.
Post to ask us any questions, such as internet connection or installing programs. I am sure you 'll find it extremely easy as everybody, once you connect to the internet and install 1 program.

Its acer aspire one. Its cute an I love it

Acer Aspire One is the next netbook i am going to buy.
It offers the same as eeePc, but costs 150 euros than eeePc in Greece!!
Greek stores just charge as much as they want...

Welcome to the forums!

Hope you will enjoy your new netbook.

Hi! It's nice to see another woman here. This forum is a bit topheavy with blokes. Did you notice how they all immediately started discussing your hardware? Typical!

Do I gather from your third sentence that you're a "senior citizen" like me? If so, you might like to read my thing about Linux for senior Citizens

And next time a man in this forum solves your problem, don't forget to sue him...

Hey, can we help it if we like hardware? It's just our nature.
