I had, I have - and still use it. Basically I do installs always with an 2 G usb key, and install the smallest option what I could have in Fedora. It's the LXDE spin, witch works perfectly. You could install any versions of our beloved OS, but don't forget that you have only 4G SSD storage. When updates are coming, mainly you could run out quickly from storage if you keep the system, and the default partition setup what offers with the first install the anaconda. For example the gnome version runs perfectly, with an little partition setup modification, but - alas - it eats 3/4 of the storage. If you run out of storage, but updates are still there, sometimes, deleting them - and rebuild of the rpmDB might be useful. I also suggest for a good performance at least 1G RAM module, and use the card as external storage formatted as ext3.Ã HTH, Zoltan. PS: I use it always for my mobile work as secondary machine, but mainly only for keep the contacts, and browsing, or some jukebox possibility from card. You must to know, I customise highly the basic install, and I use compact apps to multimedia - but always keep front of my eyes that I need such single apps, that solving more of my needed tasks and you will be REALLY happy with it. I also suggest portablelinuxapps.org too, where you need only download, add execute permission - and you could use them happily without any dependency.
