This is a great point Mathieu. As a matter of fact, one of the calls I got about Fedora 11 on a netbook was from a certain prominent executive, who installed it on his HP 2133 and said it was the first distro of any kind where he could read the screen properly. Not having a netbook, I'm wondering where currently our user experience suffers, and where we can do better -- although that's not really a Marketing topic per se. -- Paul W.
