Right well I've got a netbook arriving tomorrow acer aspire 521.
Bit different in that it uses an amd v105 chip instead of the normal atom. Has better graphics and a chipset which supports 4gb of ram.
I plan to install ubuntu 11.04 when it comes out on Thursday. To use the full 4gb I need the 64 bit version right? Windows starter is only 32 bit so can only support 3gb correct? Is this going to be ok having a 32bit and a 64bit OS on the same netbook?
It comes with a 160gb HDD so was thinking 30gb for windows 30gb for linux and 100gb for file storage. This seem ok? Its only a netbook so wont really have much on it in the way of programs.
Anything else I should think about when doing this?
