I would just to drop a few comments on using Fedora 10 on my little
Asus 701.
I'm impressed how well installation went and how it work nice in
fullscreen on eee's small 7" screen.
I've got it installed on one of the 900a's from Target - it's a tight
fit with the 4GB drive, but it's there. One weird quirk was that I got
partitioning errors during the install if I had anything but the
original 512MB stick of RAM in it, Fedora WOULD NOT install with the
2GB stick I got for it in. I could get the eee spin of Ubuntu to
install (even if the grub.conf was crack, it insists on telling it to
boot from the wrong drive), and I could get the eee restore disk to
work with 2GB of RAM, but not Fedora. Other than that I've got it
pared down to pretty much the basics of what I want and it's got about
400MB left. I'm using the LXDE window manager and I like it enough
that I'm using it on the bigtop also, it's rather like a prettier
version of KDE3 and minus the futzing with the panels that I was doing
with Gnome and XFCE to make it behave how I wanted it to. But it runs
FireFox, Logjam, Twitux, and Pidgin, plays Flash and mp3s, and Abiword
doesn't hog too much room, so if I actually was using it as something
other than a web terminal it'd be there.
