I am going to buy Eee PC S101 (1,6 GHz Atom, 1 GB RAM, ...), but these specs are same on most of netbooks. You can find some videos of Compiz on Eee PC 701 at <a href="http://youtube.com">youtube.com</a> which works flawlessly, so I am convinced, that on next generation Eee PCs (901, S101) there will be no problems even if S101 have bigger resolution (800*480 vs. 1024*600). <br>

CentOS is a "more secure" RHEL, I'm not at all sure where you got "better HW support"... <br><br>By the way, you can always add a repository that has Compiz and still use CentOS.<br><br>What kind of Netbook are you running?<br>
<br>That being said, I am curious to hear how compiz goes. <br>

This is no problem. I like CentOS because of its stability (and I am using it on servers), but I donīt know how it will appear on desktop. Yes, CentOS is enterprise operating system and Fedora is multimedia minded, but I think that CentOS is better OS with much better HW support (isnīt it?) and this multimedia features can be easily added. <br>
<br>I donīt know which one choose :(<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/13 Michael Schenck <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mschenck@limewire.com" target="_blank">mschenck@limewire.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Compiz is pretty resource intensive. As a result it will also use your power/(unit time) this might not be the best desktop environment for a netbook. Assuming it will even play well with the netbook's video card.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have one maybe stupid question - is there in CentOS 5 packages of Compiz Fusion? I am deciding between Fedora and CentOS to install it to my netbook and this is one of most important features that I want.<br>
<br>
Thank for replies<br></div></div>
