today I bought an acer aspire one 501. Unfortunatley on XP, I would love 
to have it dual boot to ubuntu studio as well. I can use my audio app 
reaper perfectly in XP, but I would prefer to have the small laptop to 
have xubuntu studio or soemthing similar.

Any problems regarding rt kernel? Can i anticipate wifi to be working? 
And onboard sound?

Anyone who did this succesfully?

Thanks!
