Heya!

I'm sorry but I don't have an Aspire One, I have an Aspire 3610 laptop. My netbook is an unbranded OEM netbook with unsupported audio and network chipsets. :(

But from what I've read and seen, the Aspire One is fully supported, it would run as well as it does on my laptop and netbook except with sound and the ability to go online. But you still will not have 3D acceleration so many games won't work. I think you should install Aros to a USB stick and take it to a shop that sells laptops and netbooks and ask if you can boot it up on them, explaining carefully that it won't effect anything on the hard drives and it doesn't have viruses on it, you just need to know which model is best supported by your intended operating system.

If you could find a netbook or laptop with a built-in nVidia chip you might be in luck. If you only use Intel GMA you can still run all those programs and most games, but you won't be able to play the really nice looking ones that require Gallium 3D.
