Not familiar with that particular gadget, but, generally, for lightweight laptops, go with the XFCE spin. In general, a Live image is a fairly low- risk way to test if Fedora will grok the hardware. I picked up a second-hand EEE 900, with the factory 500MB of RAM and a 4GB drive. Before plunking down the cash for some reasonable amount of RAM and disk, I dumped an XFCE Live image on a USB stick, and verified that the netbook can boot it, and that Fedora sees all the hardware, and is generally usable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks everyone, sure appreciate the starting place. I have some things to study and to do.
