If you have a cd from xp and a cd drive, why not.
Perhaps you can take a look at

How is linux hard to operate? What are things you can't do using linux, can you give examples?

Here is a forum for the Acer Aspire:

It is using Linpus Linux which is based on Fedora. They give some information there on how to use it.

Lots of info on the AAO netbooks.. check the links in my sig. One link covers installing Xp on the AAO if you wish to downgrade your OS..

When the Aspire One first appeared (Linux version). I found it extremely easy to operate---If I had not known what to look for, I would not have known it was running Linux.

As others have stated, tell us the specific issues.
