</div>Ah, good point. In my particular case, I left Fedora on there,<br>
installed grub (on the CentOS install) into the / partition, and added<br>
the CentOS installation to Fedora's grub afterwards, with chainloader<br>

I will have to add these additions tomorrow, but that is exactly the<br>
sort of thing I meant, thao one overlooks what is obvious to the more<br>
experienced, but not the newcomer.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Cool, nice to know it was useful <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Yes, it's hard to tell sometimes, The hardware on these Aspires doesn't<br>
seem to be the best.<br>

</div>Acer should have done almost anything but use Linpus, it was a really<br>
crippled version of Linux, but that's another things. :) (I wasn't<br>
serious about blaming, I knew you weren't trying to blame anyone--it was<br>
simply an attempt to be droll.)</blockquote><div><br>I gathered from the smiley, don't think I took it seriously, :-p <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
As you know, especialy if you've tried Linpus, it's lacking many things<br>
that an experienced Linux user would expect, while also doing enough<br>
wrong to drive away the inexperienced Linux user. It seems that most of<br>
the netbook manufacturers put comparitively crippled versions of Linux<br>
on their machines, then wondered why, (for example, in MSI Wind's case)<br>
there were so many returns of the Linux versions of their netbooks.</blockquote><div class="Ih2E3d"><br>It is a real shame they make linux so crippled on netbooks, altho the hardware isn't<br>the best it actually is better than my old server, (ie, much bigger harddrive) <br>
also fedora runs smooth enough so way they didn't just stick a proper linux on there<br>no one knows, but is a big reason why windows might take over that market, and that is a shame. hope Intel does something good with Moblin. <br>
Another thought, Windows likes to make things shiny and run slowly, (but people like it) <br>Linux could easily outshine windows without losing performance, yet the linux gui always looks so old, Fedora is getting closer but when looking at gnome-look and see the designs<br>
it baffles me fedora or centos doesn't have something a bit more funky. <br><br>>> wiki stuff:<br>One last thing, I'm going to see if the Acerfand works in centos, and some of the other stuff discribed in this guide for fedora: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One</a> <br>
will let you know what does and doesn't work, it could save on overhead, and make a very quite server. <br>
