i want to like eeedora, i really do… alas, on a 1000 40g linux eee pc the truth is that eeedora is not ready for prime time for folks wanting wifi (have not tried it with my 900, but it *should* work)…

Xandros’ brightness/sound control is actually not always fine on my Eee. But it’s heavily hacked. Same thing with firefox crashes, I get that often, especially with YouTube.
Pulseaudio: that’s a Fedora thing. Don’t know why they put it, but it looks like they seem proud of including it.
XFCE: XFCE isn’t really a desktop for the slow computers, although it is generally a good choice for this kind of machine; it’s more of an easy, transparent, no-nonsense thing with software that opens instantly. Not everyone want to wait for nautilus to load, even if it’s just 10-20 seconds, and sometimes Gnome gizmos are just too much distraction.

Actually, in newer versions of eeeDora the Fn-F3/F4 for brightness works. Download the latest version from the eeeDora site and you’ll see. One caveat though, for me in the 20080125 build I have firefox sometimes crash randomly… not sure yet, what causes that…

With my Inspiron 1500 with camera using uvcvideo (er, can’t login now to check details — killed the network remotely!) driver on debian, luview also worked, but I had problems initially with other viewers.

I think the solution in the end, for gnomemeeting’s successor (sorry about the sketchy details!) was one fo the gstreamer v4l or v4l2 plugins, which apt wasn’t pulling in for me because the dependency was only a “suggests” or “recommends”.

I haven’t yet tried skype. Because I have no friends, I haven’t tried actually using the camera yet, mind you.
