My family has two Acer Aspire One D250-1026 netbooks and they both suck. The LCD screen on one is broken, the other one has a faulty ethernet card. They both hold ~20% of their original charge.
I do not recommend an Acer Aspire One, based on my terrible experiences.
In my opinion the older AAOs are better than the newer ones. What's funny about this one that I'm typing on is that it was one of the original ones that came with Linux preinstalled. The only issue is that it came with Linpus, a crippleware distro, so I just installed Ubuntu on it. It also survived a very extreme shock recently -- a whole glass of water spilled on it -- which I told you guys about already.
It's an AOA110-1545.

I have a special little geekie-screenies directory for screenshots in /home/mrcode/Pictures, so you never see them on the desktop.
The only icons I have on my desktop are a few shortcuts to common places (e.g. my home dir, /, the "trash", whatever removable drives/media are currently mounted), and Firefox.
