My last config based on snap2 was a huge improvement and I can run
applications but it's still too slow. I'll be trying snap3 over the
weekend and am willing to try any perf. tricks.
If we can't get to an acceptable level of performance in a specified
amount of time - we'll need a plan B; spinning up a thread to look at
alternatives now seems prudent.

So now that it seems we can all install and mostly boot the XO iwth Fedora 10, can
anyone else actually use anything?
I find the applications on this spin to be a bit of a letdown (they're all quite
resource intense), and even when I shut off most services and gnome things, there
isn't enough ram to actually do much (one Firefox instance takes care of what RAM
is left).
The best I could do last night was to drop RAM usage to a point where there was
about 86 Megs free. Firefox will gladly eat all this away though.
So just for fun I tried out the F10 XFCE spin. It runs quite nicely, from a performance perspective, it's acceptable with no changes.
So here are my thoughts and fears.
If we go with the F10 GNOME spin, there will be two likely reactions from users:
If the user knows Fedora, they'll probably get annoyed they paid extra for their SD
card because it's so slow.
If they don't know Fedora, they're going to assume Fedora is a fat slow pig and
sucks.
The more I try to slim this down, the more frustrated I'm getting, and I like to
think I'm a bit smarter than the average bear here. Is there a reason we HAVE to
use the GNOME spin for this, or can other options be considered?
