[ubuntu-uk] Acer Aspire

Its not daunting at all follow the eeepc version of Ubuntu as I did and you
will have a working version with all your stuff working. The route you
should follow is on the Acer Aspire forum. Only problem I had was FF3
freezing but once again follow the instructions on the forum to remedy that.
