I nearly lost my breakfast looking at Xandros; Windows in drag -- and, of course, in cahoots with MegaSleazo. *Lots* of alternatives are better, especially on one with that much space. > What actually are the advantages of Fedora in this case?

But for the most overview, go to http://forum.eeeuser.com/ and look around. (There is even (or was) something called EeeDora -- F8 specifically adapted to the early small EeePCs; F9 may have made it obsolete already.) The forums there are often somewhat disorganized, and hard to find things in; but they're *very* prolific. Suggestion : put Fedora, Puppy, and two or three others on bootable USB sticks, and try them without having to go through a whole install between each. I carry two or three such with mine; I think lots of people do. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 2.00, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
