install 9.10 on out of the box Aspire X3810 very good

[Steve Bridges]

First I would like to introduce myself. My name is Steve Bridges (aka 
VooDooStevie).

I have made a 100% switch to Ubuntu on August 1st and documented the 
whole personal experience on my blog (http://www.voodoostevie.net). And 
currently I have been producing my podcast fully on my Acer Aspire 5720Z 
using Audacity. If you care to check that out, it's a musical podcast 
that has been running for almost 4 years now 
(http://www.voodooradio.org). Ok enough of the introductions,  in 
response to this last mail posted, I will have to agree with the ugly 
Acer sticker on the front. I covered it with a sticker I made by using a 
picture of Tux:

And I added some side labels I took from the OpenStickers 
(http://openstickers.com) as well as some other sources and put them 
where the vista and other crap were:

There are a few ways to make your own stickers, there is full sheet 
sticker kits that you can get. I was lucky to have a co-worker print 
them out and laminate them for me so they last longer (kind of). But 
there are a few places you can customize labels for laptops. There is 
also free Powered by Ubuntu stickers available from System 76 
(http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9).

There is also SkinIt.com which you can customize your own full sized 
graphic for your case.

Hope this helps.
