What are you planning to use the eee for? *If you want to use for development, work in your office, I wouldn't encourage it, the SSD behaves too slow. Obviously, there you need fedora. But I think that's not the purpose of an eee. Starting from the keyboard size, it's too little in any sense for hard working. * But if you prefer home usage, fun, reading, etc., Xandros is enough. You have a nice wiki (wiki.eeeuser.com), with fixes for almost everything. The eee was designed for that. I use it for studying. I installed F9, and it was really cool. But slow. And need recompiling the ath driver on each kernel upgrade. So I turned back to Xandros, hack a little (eeeuser.com), and I'm happy. > What actually are the advantages of Fedora in this case? The Fedora full- experience. But somehow slow. Xandros is really faster. > Also, will I have any problems with WiFi, I used to compile the ath driver. If you follow the instructions on the Fedora eee wiki, almost everything works. Not the mic. But I did'nt need it. Xandros installs Firefox 2, enough for the eee. But fedora gets Firefox 3, which turns slower. > which works very well in the current system? As I said, if you follow the F9 eee wiki hacks, everything but the mic. The wifi driver needs recompiling each kernel upgrade. Compiz works great. Games as foobilliard or Mame runs very well. You have always updated versions of all software. Xandros holds some old software.
