[Bglug] Acer Aspire One

[Anthony Morassutti]

identifying info like ip addresses.

myself I use ecosia and switch to startpage when I need to.

Elive Linux is in my and many others' opinion, the best distro ever!
It is the distribution of the future, yet it is so lightweight that it
revives the past. Check it out! elivecd.org
