    What sort of stuff would you like to see added into the standard Linpus release?

    Also, what would you like to see as an Acer update?


    Any ideas?

    At the moment as a noob user I would like:

    Easier control (a GUI) for:
    Screen resolution, various settings selectable for a 2nd monitor.
    A keyboard toggle to enable switching between the simple panel interface and the Linpus desktop.
    Support for 3G modems other than the Acer unit.
    Simple way for non tech' users to add applications to the panel interface.
    Skype installed as standard.
    VPN installed as standard.
    FTP with GUI installed as standard.
    A backup facility (to use an external HD drive or USB pendrive) as standard.
    The ability to hide any application from the panel interface.

    That is all at the mo'

    Yes I know this is a software thread, but I want a door to allow users to upgrade the ram. (Without full disassembly of the One)

    Hardware: Internal Bluetooth.
    Software: Ubuntu Netbook Remix with full driver suppport and that boots as fast as Acer's Linpus.

    [edit]
    Sorry didn't see it was about linpus..

    A way to access shared files on a network should be on the list as well!

    1) kernel support for TUN/TAP so I can use OpenVPN
    2) network share support - network filesystem protocols in file manager (smb://, sftp:// nfs://), network neighborhood browser
