    Ok folks, I just bought the ACER A1 and I'm pretty happy. I'm on the road a lot and I need a mini computer for wordpressing, spreadsheets that isn't a hassle to use on a plane or train.

    two of the features I really want to work with the ACER are gotomypc remote connection to my mother ship computer and gotomeeting for meetings i give on the road. if i can get gotomypc to work i don't need gotomeeting as i can run it remotely.

    anyways i don't have acer yet (tomorrow) and i've never used linux anything before. anybody know if i can get gotomypc working

    There is a Linux client for gotomypc, but I've never used it so I don't know how easy it would be to make in work on the AA1. Personally I prefer VNC for this sort of thing, and there's certainly no problem with VNC support on Linux.
