That's not an error. That is the root account bash shell command line prompt. It's waiting for you to input a command such as startx to start the X graphic server, uname -a to display current distro and some system info, ls -a to show a file/directory list, etc.

Also if graphical is installed you'll have to edit /etc/inittab

Please try the command startx (as suggested earlier). It might give you a 'command not found' error in which case you have a very basic linpus (basically a placeholder OS).
I notice from your screenshot that it states 'liveCD'; are you running from CD or memory stick?
From experience, Linpus is not very quick in providing security patches. When a major security hole was found in the kernel a couple of years ago, I waited two weeks and nothing was available for update (while my other distros were patched in that time). I switched to another distro. My system is an old Aspire One ZG5 with 8GB ssd and 512MB memory.
I suggest that you install another distro; a little research on the web shows however that some distros don't fully support your system out-of-the-box. Other users here that have the same model can possiblyadvise; I suggest that you try a few in live mode (memory stick or CD/DVD) and check if everything works and next install what works.
