    Primary is still XP Home, running OpenSolaris 2009.06, every thing up bar the LAN, and this can be compiled. Will need to tweak power management as it has the CPU running hotter, runs impresively well on D250 with N280 CPU, even with desktop enhancements turned on

    Fedora 11, installed from external DVD. Upgraded to 2GB ram. Still have WinXP installed as it is used to run automotive diagnostic software via bluetooth/usb link. :)

    I'm running Ubuntu. Getting eth1 to work is easy. I wrote a how to for the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOneAOD250 after getting frustrated searching through outdated info, and info not relevant to the AOD250. Just copy and paste a few lines of code and it will work.

    Gentoo is my distro of choice. I'm going to look into that. How bad are the build times? Can cross compile and distcc be used?
