I recently got a Asus eee Pc 1005HA which was almost entirely supported
out-of-the-box with F11 (awesome!). I had to install via DVD-to-USB stick
since network didn't work in anaconda, but otherwise worked great once installed.
I'd like to see a couple things:
* support for different "skins" which are easily installable from packages
(Ubuntu NBR's gnome view, moblin, etc)
UNR's UIs are a dead-end. I'd advise sticking to Moblin, even if we made
slight changes compared to upstream (using mutter for both gnome-shell
and moblin usage would be good).
* integration of Dan Walsh's xguest package with
easy-to-customize guest
defaults (which skin to use from above, default firefox
preferences/extensions, etc)
What's the use of this?
* firefox: make meerkat extension [1] available and activated on
install
Is there any actual way to package Firefox extensions for Fedora? That
would probably make my installs of Firebug more up-to-date...
But making sure that applications work well on smaller screens is a case
for either adding support directly in the applications when possible, or
creating a proper front-end for it.
These are just some quick ideas I've had while using my netbook
since I've had
it for the past week.
I'm not sure of the status of Ubuntu's NBR gnome skin (ie, where it's
housed,
how to package it, etc) but it would be great to get into Fedora.
A number of those are already in Fedora, a few more are up for review,
but things like maximus are gross hacks, and we shouldn't be building a
desktop on top of hacks like that.
