crabstix Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I am interested in the Acer A-One microcomputer running linux on the 8GB model. I want to experiment with Linux instead of XP. I have heard it runs really slow running XP but ok on linux lite. Where can I get an Eng-Thai , Thai-Eng dictionary for it. It can be paid or free. I don't mind. Also what antivirus program do you recommend for the 8GB model? I don't want to slow it down too much as I know the processor is designed to do pnly basic tasls. Also can U use 4Gb sd card to make it 12GB instead of 8? I want to put some songs on it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePyawkt Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi, I have had that machine for about 2 months now, and can give some insight. The version of Linpus they provide standard with the system stinks - I dinked with it for weeks, with little improvement, and ended up installing XP. It runs ok with XP, as long as you do some install mods. There is a great user forum: www.aspireoneuser.com They have good instructions for doing almost anything with that machine. That being said, there is a new version of Mandriva Linux that is made with the AAO and Eee in mind. I plan to try this, and make a dualboot system if it is as good as it looks. As far as Thai-English dictionaries, I have found no good ones for westerners - they all have the Thai words in Thai character, which does me no good.

Veazer Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i would highly recommend against the 8gb SSD version. it's a very slow drive, and you can't upgrade to a normal notebook drive later. Even if you're interested in linux, start with a version that has a real drive. I've seen 160gb / 1GB versions going for $400 USD, not a lot more than the 8gb ssd + 512 mg memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunphil Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Why not use online Thai-English dictionaries? For instance, I often use the following: http://dict.longdo.com/ This one is GREAT ! I was looking for one like this. Thai staff love it ! (PS : I am not the one who ask the question, I am just very satisfied.) Philippe Edited November 4, 2008 by khunphil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
