I doubt that will be a problem. I had stock F14 on my 900A. Although I
preferred some of the other, lighter, spins; they all use the same
kernel.

The real problem is that 4GB is too tight to get much done that's
worth doing. For awhile I used the SD card slot for my data storage,
essentially storing all my work files on the card. Eventually, I got
tired of that and purchased a 64GB SSD to replace the 4GB. Much nicer
now. (Although the SSD cost almost as much as the netbook.)
