Welcome to the forums!

It's probably some customized version of Linux, but you can take a look around in the /etc folder to see if there any clues there. You could also try running the following commands from the command line to see if anything is revealed:

cat /etc/*-release

cat /etc/*issue

uname -a

In the interim, maybe someone that has this netbook and has already researched this will reveal the Linux distribution used.

So I was looking at the Ubisurfer manual. It has a some gems.

Xterm is a Linux operating software. It provides command line access for Linux programmers and should not be opened unless you have
experience programming with Linux. Entering commands in this field may affect the performance of your UbiSurfer.

It also says it uses Firefox, but shows a picture of Iceweasel.


From what I can find its got an ARM processor. That and the iceweasel thing suggest to me that it's likely based on Debian, but I can't find any concrete info.
