[SoaS] Neat info on EeePC and fedora compatability

[pbrobinson at gmail.com]

Hi Caryl,
I would suggest trying the Fedora Desktop.

http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

You can create a live usb key just like how you do for sugar and boot
off the USB key and then use the icon on the desktop to install it.
There is documentation at the link above as well.

Regards,
Peter
