Fedora 10 on XO

[Ed McNierney]

Chris -

Thanks; I think your thoughts are rather similar to mine and I am trying to
get information on what the actual user need (or perceived need) is.  While
there are obvious storage and RAM constraints involved, we need to be sure
we're providing what most users will want (users of this desktop, of
course).

Thanks to everyone else, too, who is contributing to this discussion, as
it's very important to move this topic into the real world of "what is
possible, what would it look like, and what compromises would we have to
make?"

    - Ed
