Actually using Fedora on your XO

[James Laska]

Greetings Josh,

There are already XO-specific quirks landing into the spin-kickstart for
the stock Live image.  My expectation for the XO performance test team
is to identify and potentially make recommendations for improving the
performance of the stock Live image on the XO.

In the end, this laptop has 256M of RAM.  So I'm under no expectation
that we can make 256M feel like 2G of RAM.  But I think it's a
reasonable exercise to make the most of the resources given.

Thanks,
James
