The short answer is: ask on the Acer Aspire One forum. Linpus is highly customized, and the only people who can really advise you on how to install packages in it are other users of that distro. http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/

This question has come up several times, so for a longer explanation, do a forum search for "Acer Aspire One" and read those threads.
