It is a much larger pain in my opinion to try to figure out how to install stuff in the Linpus thing than to install Ubuntu or Fedora.

Hi Jbicha,
Thanks for getting back.
I've read a bit about putting Ubuntu on this machine and gone as far as downloading the Raw CD image
ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso from the Ubuntu website. But further investigation revealed that I would need to mount the file to disk or USB and then install from there? Is this right? As I haven't got a CD/DVD burner now that would quite limit me (I've only got this Aspire now) plus I would know how to do it yet. And like I said earlier I'm a complete novice with Linux.
Like you mentioned, what about Fedora 10? How do I install that? Is it the same as Unbuntu to install? Which would you recommend first?
Sorry to bother you with all the questions, but I'm starting to get interested in this stuff and would hate to go back to Windows now I've branched out.
Cheers,
Durk's......
