followed by a letter for color, are shipped with the Linpus Linux Lite operating
system installed [7]. This offers a simplified user interface, with default
applications like the Firefox 2 browser, OpenOffice.org 2.3, "Acer One
Mail" and "Acer One Messenger" available directly on the main
screen. In accordance with the GPL Acer has released the source code for Linpus
Linux Lite and their modified Linux kernel.
