I like the eeePC that I got a couple of weeks ago. It’s light, it’s tiny. It has a neat little Xandros Linux based OS on it. But for what I want, that one has to go. I’m now running Fedora 8 on it and am really beginning to like it. There are still some oddities with getting the network to cooperate:

• Fedora recognizes the Atheros wireless adapter, but it isn’t able to connect to any of my networks (it sees them and tries to connect but then fails); I’ll need to play with the Madwifi drivers some more
• Fedora doesn’t recognize the wired network adapter at all, but there’s a kernel module available at the eeeDora project that gets that going

Other things that are hurdles right now are the limited space on the SSD (4Gig) and the not very trust inspiring touchpad that frequently needs “reminding” in order to cooperate…

But overall… we’re getting there!
