[snip] FWIW, I have an Eee PC, so I'll try to answer this: When I first got the Eee PC, none of its network interfaces were supported by Fedora. I needed both the atl2 driver for the wired network and madwifi for the wireless. As the Eee PC doesn't have a CD drive, that left no easy way to get it installed. In the end, I downloaded and installed Eeedora, and then reverted any changed packages back to Fedora (bringing me back to a standard Fedora install). I also went back to Gnome (mainly because it's familiar), set up a swap partition for hibernation (setting sys.vm.swappiness to 0 so it doesn't swap unless absolutely necessary), and installed compiz-fusion. It works great for me, and I've had no problems using it to connect at various miscellaneous hotspots. ATM the only non-Fedora bits I have on it are the patched madwifi driver for wireless and the asus_acpi_eee driver so the hotkeys work. The atl2 wired driver is now included in the latest Fedora kernels. Jonathan
