My brand new Acer aspire v5-573G just arrived today, and that thing doesn't have an OS installed. It came with some disk that says something like "resources", but the laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive built in so i will need to buy an external one.

Anyway, a guy i know will come and install Windows 7 on it tomorrow.

I plugged in the charger, and turned the laptop on, and saw some penguin staring at me. It's some linux crap, it says:

Welcome to Linpus Linux

Configuring kernel parameters: [ OK ]
//2 other lines of some random stuff
setting hostname localhost.localdomain: [OK]


I don't know what to do here, perhaps i can't do anything else until i have the OS installed on this thing?

the machine was advertised as "No OS included".
