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)

* integration of Dan Walsh's xguest package with easy-to-customize guest defaults (which skin to use from above, default firefox preferences/extensions, etc)

* firefox: make meerkat extension [1] available and activated on install

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.

I'm not sure how extensions written in Javascript/XUL would be installed.

But the review of thunderbird-enigmail for Fedora stalled due to various reasons for a year or two iirc (bugzilla.redhat.com has some of the details; ask remi for all of them). So RPM Fusion jumped in to provide the package for now

Hi All, I'd like some thoughts, and some help.... so yes, I'm opening a can of worms :-) A while a go jkatz put out a call about support for netbooks, and I begun to step up and the idea behind Fedora Mini [1] was born before being sidetracked by shiny things in the corner. So I'd like to get things moving forward again, no matter how slowly, for Fedora 12. At FudCon I started that moving [2] with the hope of getting some form of support for Intel's Moblin [3] in F-12 and there's a few package reviews [4] that I'd like some help with if people have time to review them :-) Moving forward I'd like to have some discussion about what people would like out of Fedora Mini. What is the expectation of Fedora on a NetBook/NetTop/MID style device? Is it worth having separate mailing list, or keeping the discussion on fedora-devel. My thoughts on that last point are mixed. Moving it onto another list allows it to be focused and while keeping the discussion clear of what ever the current heated discussion is also keeps it clear of general mainstream discussions where Fedora Mini can contribute or benefit. My personal thoughts are it could be alot, whether it be a NetBook or NetTop device like a eeePC, a mobile device based on the GNOME Mobile stack, a set top box running elisa or a thin terminal running a web broweser, voip client and some form of remote desktop technology..... I have 2 main "Fedora Mini" devices 1) OLPC XO and a eeePC so I can't support it all so I'd like some help. I started to document some of the NetBook hardware [5] and it would be great to get some form of Hardware matrix together to see what's supported out of the box in Fedora, what's supported through 3rd party repositories and what's, well, not supported. Are people able to step up or help out here? My wiki skills aren't the best and Fedora as a group probably has alot of the "Fedora Mini" devices out there to document the hardware into as nice "I want a small device to do blah and I want it to run Fedora what's my best option" so we could probably do with one of the wiki elite to do a basic working layout and to keep it sane and having people with the various devices fill in the blanks. So what do people want out of a Fedora Mini SIG? Cheers, Peter BTW we have an irc channel at #fedora-mini. I'm on there most of the time now and try to keep an eye on it as best I can while doing the rest of my life so feel free to drop in and ask questions, I'll get to them as I can :-) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_Berlin_and_LinuxTag_2009_talks [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraMoblin [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506446 [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini/Hardware
