I have a Aspire® One 751h help please

what version of Linux can a Aspire® One 751h use as an os?

So far, I have only been able to use Fedora 11 as an os, but I wanted to use something else.

 

What are the hardware specifications of your netbook?

 

A quick google search showed the specs for the Acer Aspire One 751h.

Intel Atom Z520 CPU @ 1.2GHz
Intel GMA 500 graphics chipset
1-2 GB RAM
160GB hard drive (5400RPM)
802.11b/g Wi-Fi
Built-in webcam

Is this the right specs, goku4eternity?

what version of linux works with the above specs?

 

you could try ubuntu netbook remix, ubuntu 10.04, opensuse 11.3, crunchbang, peppermintos, linux mint..just to name a few ..quick question..does your come with the broadcom or atheros wireless chipset?

 

Maybe give MeeGo a shot?
It should support Intel GMA 500.

 

I only have access to a mac right now, and I do not how to put an iso onto a usb flash drive, my netbook can only boot up flash drives right now, so, no os is working on my netbook, please help

 

check this out:
Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux

unetbootin UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads

 

I agree on the MeeGo suggestion. Jolicloud also because it has drivers designed to support the netbooks and the GMA 500 specifically.

 

can we limit the linux suggestions to whats on osdisc.com click usb on that website also i want a version of linux that runs the fastest which might make it have a smaller filesize run the fastest and has the most features

 

OSDisc.com USB section doesent show up Jolicloud, but its a very good OS for netbooks.
Its UI is customised to use every bit of screen space possible.
Also it was highly praised in Engadget so it cant be all that bad, right?

Look here & here

Also check out the Jolicloud blog for some extra info.

 

I used Jolicloud before and it runs very good and stable. Its a little bit weired when you work with it but after a while you get used to it. Simple and easy and layed out for Netbooks. I used it on an EEE PC 901 with HD. But sold it in the end with WIN XP which came with the machine.

currently using MINT runs very good and stable on my EEE PC 1201N

 

This guide should help you get Linux distros to boot off USB drives.
(Its for OSX)

 

user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

After I did the above mac tutorial, what do I do now, after the above error?

 

Are you the administrator?

 

ok, so that above tutorial made my flash drive a cd rom, but now when I booted up my flash drive on my netbook, it said, operating system not found, and now I don't know how to delete files off of it, and or make it a regular flash drive, i tried sudo dd if=/Users/DeborahLowdermilk/Desktop/lupu-501.iso of=/dev/disk2
puppy linux

 

Found this in the comments from the link i gave you.
YouTube - How to Create a Boot Disk on OS X

Sorry i cant help you more, i dont own a Mac.

 

I had the same error well problem with all my USB sticks. i ended up using a SD card and worked everytime without errors and always installed the OS ok.
You should be able to format the USB stick to FAT32 with any Operating system. If you have a Linux distro on your Computer you can download the program gparted in the software resource that should take care of it but bare in mind to format the USB stick it needs to be unmounted

 

it was unmounted, but my flash drive is still a cdrom
