Comment(by overbyte):

 I don't have the time nor the need any longer (since Ubuntu on the XO
 meets our project's needs) to install plain Fedora 9 on an SD card for the
 XO, but maybe developers working on XO-1.5 could test Fedora/Firefox/Gnash
 on it.   The Ubuntu version I've installed has the same kernel as the
 Fedora factory-installed on the XO-1, so it knows about the special keys,
 has drivers for the XO's camera, mic, NIC, etc.   I would not expect plain
 Fedora to work properly without a lot of effort to get the right drivers
 into the kernel modules.

 The point is, if the XO has a future, it should include the ability to
 interact with Flex applications.   Otherwise, it's going to remain a
 useful device for age 6-12, but not beyond the special world of Sugar.
 Its browsing capabilities are crippled without support for Adobe
 Flex/FlashPlayer web applications.
