I don't own an Eee PC don't play to buy one at least until the second 
generation (with a bigger display) will get out (expected this summer) 
but if I had such a device I would want to install a full Fedora, not a 
bastardized version of it (I may consider the Xfce spin if it is too 
slow for GNOME).
This is why I am curious why (if) Eee PC is not supported by Fedora 
out-of-the box. As I understand from the linked article, Mandriva works 
OOTB on Eee PC, only with some minor issues. It is not the same with Fedora?

Several other similar devices are released or are expected to be 
released during the F9 life cycle (Cloudbook, MSI Wind, etc.) so I think 
its is a worthy goal to have Fedora usable on them.
