I've got rather annoyed with the Xandros on my EeePC-4G,<br>
and am thinking of installing a different OS.<br>
<br>
I would like to install Fedora,<br>
as I am running Fedora or CentOS on all my other machines,<br>
but I'm attracted by the fact that there is<br>
a version of Ubuntu (eeebuntu)<br>
apparently specifically for the EeePC.<br>
<br>
I suppose there isn't an eeeFedora?<br>
Does anyone have an argument for installing Fedora<br>
on this very small machine?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>I have F11 running nicely on my 701 4G. I used the Live CD install since it makes things easy and is a very light install (size wise). I've updated my bios to get the full 900MHz instead of the stock 630.<br>
<br>Pros:<br>- Nice a light install<br>- No issues during install<br>- All buttons work, even WiFi (on F11, didn't in F10).<br><br>Cons:<br>- have to use EXT4 since it copies the live image over (arguably not good for SSD's and more I/O overhead)<br>
- Default Gnome is not as snappy as it could be. I've used Openbox/Gnome combo which helps but some config screens still don't work well for the 480 vertical display. I have to tab over and guess when the "OK" button is selected.<br>
