I'll stick with Debian and back-ported Intel video drivers until it absolutely necessary however....
I can get F13 Live booted nicely to Gnome ...
but bootup takes forever 4 or 5 minutes and swapping never stops.....
F14 complains (seems it's seeing the internal orinoco wireless -b as a pcmcia card inserted in slot0)
but I think it's more the 256MB of ram than anything else...
I'll probably see if I can find 2 x 256MB or 2 x 512MB sodimms for under $70 ( I know I'm probably dreamin)
Fedora is way different than debian ....
Will let ya know if I figure out how to use dracut on a debian box
