My Acer One's history...
...and I don't mean that it's broken, lost or sold. Actually, I quite like my Acer netbook, even though the 8GB SSD is slow and it's a hell of a job to upgrade the ram. I bought the Linux edition because I love Linux and it was way cheaper than the one with Windows XP. Initially, I didn't pay much attention to the pre-installed Linpus Linux, but installed Ubuntu 8.10 on it within 2 hours of buying the One, because... I don't know... just because.
After a few months, I decided to roll back to the originally shipped Linpus Linux, because Ubuntu these days can be a real resource hog on netbooks unless you tweak it really well.
After a clean install from the Acer Linpus DVD (a slimmed down version of Fedora 8), I opened a terminal window to do some commandline stuff. While going back in my bash history, pressing the UP key, I saw that there were more commands there than I had typed myself. When I typed the 'history' command, I saw that someone at Acer apparently forgot to delete his or her history while configuring Linpus. 822 lines of history, to be precise.
Although there's not really something really exciting or fancy there, it's still fun to have a sneak peek into the commandline habbits of some engeneer(s) at Acer. You can even see some employee names and typo's. It surprised me that I couldn't really find something about this on some Acer usergroups, so I thought i'd post it here, just for fun (and Google).
