thanks kevin, that compose works perfectly and f11 beta is already on 7 
of the 11 aspire ones :), though i'm already hearing moans of slower 
performance and the only thing i can think of (apart from being beta) is 
the drop to the i586 kernel, although the atom is pae compatable it 
isn't nx so no i686-pae kernel. i'm going to knock up an i686 kernel 
tonight at home and install it to see if that brings things back closer 
to f10 performance. also wouldn't it be pertinant to remove the official 
xfce i686 spin torrent link from the spins torrent download page, save 
more people wasting time and bandwidth?
