While looking at reviews for the Acer Aspire One Notebook at :

I found this interesting review.
Jason Solves’ review speaks volumes about Linux’s capabilities.
On my thinkpad, the entire Ubuntu installation including Office Suite, codecs, media players and all that I ever need were installed into a 5GB partition with 1.4GB space free. That means Ubuntu occupied only 3.6GB. A standard XP installation would easily occupy around 10GB with all these functionalities. Vista has always eaten up no less than 30GB!
Ubuntu is also much faster and less buggier than Windows, from my experience. I’ve rarely got viruses when on XP, so I cannot speak from that point of view.
