got it JTF.
thanks.
now another (different) question related to the same case, is that my
friend told me the new acer laptop he got came with a linux OS, not
windows,
and when I ask for the uname -a here is what he told me on the phone:
...i686 GNU/linux 2.6.37-netbook-lp-HR #27 SMP...
I did some google search, it looks something called "MeeGo"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo
as a quick remote help solution, I usually guide people through the
teamviewer installation on the phone , and then I'll login the laptop
remotely through teamviewer remote desktop function. I then can take
over and troubleshoot or install applications for them.
but I let him tried downloading at least 3 or 4 different release for
linux and couldn't figure out how to install.
I assume it use either debian apt-get or redhad yum package management,
apt-get doesn't work so I'll guide him to try yum next time on the phone.
is anyone familiar with this OS and can point out a best solution as
remote help solution on it (including how to install applications
through Internet)?

The way to get this to work is to split your disk (enough room for
windows and linux)
Install windows FIRST, then install Linux
With Ubuntu (which I am familiar with), you can just install windows,
taking the whole disk, then during the Ubuntu install, you will have
the opportunity to resize the disk to make room for Ubuntu
