Well, seems we did a similar same thing the other way round, I to left fedora on there but am using centos grub, not that it really matters, thanks for getting back to me. > > I will have to add these additions tomorrow, but that is exactly the > sort of thing I meant, thao one overlooks what is obvious to the more > experienced, but not the newcomer.

I gathered from the smiley, don't think I took it seriously, :-p As you know, especialy if you've tried Linpus, it's lacking many things > that an experienced Linux user would expect, while also doing enough > wrong to drive away the inexperienced Linux user.

It is a real shame they make linux so crippled on netbooks, altho the hardware isn't the best it actually is better than my old server, (ie, much bigger harddrive) also fedora runs smooth enough so way they didn't just stick a proper linux on there 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. Another thought, Windows likes to make things shiny and run slowly, (but people like it) 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 it baffles me fedora or centos doesn't have something a bit more funky. >> wiki stuff: 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One will let you know what does and doesn't work, it could save on overhead, and make a very quite server.

I love Buffy to, Season 6 where Willow goes bonkers is definitely my favourite. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
