It works well i use my smartbook everyday.
http://ausil.us/smartbook/smartbook-rootfs-f13.tar.bz2
http://ausil.us/smartbook/boot.tar.bz2
its all setup to run from a sdcard. 1st partition gets the contents on the
boot tarball and should be ext3 the second partition gets the contents of the
rootfs. it is the fedora xfce spin contents. it pretty easy to transfer to
the internal storage.
overall im pretty happy with it.
