Mine came with no OS, wired keyboard/mouse and wireless-g. I installed Ubuntu from a 2GB USB stick that I set up with Startup Disk Creator on my laptop - the Revo boots from the stick and presents the usual install options. Once it was up and running on the network I installed MythTV as my Revo is used as a TV set-top box in the living room. @will2

Only eBuyer seems to sell it anywher enear the £165 price that iboum.com indicated, and sadly their website gives only an 'abridged' spec (compared to the us.acer.com site) and doesn't tell you which version of WiFi or keyboard they sell. I would be helpful if you could clarify these 2 things. I don't want the legacy spec for Wifi, as it will pull everying else on the WLAN down to 56Mbps. Also helpful if you can publish your method of installing Ubuntu on it, knowing it has no DVD drive.

It is only 802.11b/g. It's been detailed on several sites, mainly shopping sites where users have complained that it's not 802.11n. I'm pretty sure that ebuyer details it with 802.11b/g This system (assuming that it’s the 3610) doesn’t have 802.11n. It is only 802.11b/g.
