    I want to begin using Linux and I think that linpus could be a good option to begin using it, But I do not know how to install it

    Hi,

    I don't have an answer, I'd just like to know the answer myself :p
    The Linpus website won't seem to let me download the guide for Linpus Lite.

    Also, is there any issue like the one where you have to change something to FAT32 or whatever when you install Windows over Linux?

    Download an ISO of the installation cd.
    Burn it to disc
    Attach a usb cd/dvd drive to your AA1
    boot off the burnt disc
    follow installation instructions
    Get the appropriate drivers from the appropriate locations

    I know, i've been rather terse, but installing Linux is like installing any OS - stick the disc in, and follow the instructions.

    If you don't have a usb cd/dvd drive, you should be able to create an installation on a memory stick & use that instead.
    I did this myself when I was restoring an AA1to Linpus (so I could return it to the shop).
    I followedthese instructions.
