Hi,
Forewarning: non scientific tests...
* "occasional" creating devices hang
For me, it was "occasional" boot. Once it took 16 boots, the last
3 of which separated by two hours from the other 13.
* wasted memory
GNOME just SHOULDN'T be there. A simpler window manager will
make it much better. I installed OpenBox but it was very hard
because of OOM killer :)
* OpenBox launches way too many GNOME daemons.
I had to kill a lot of them by hand in order to get some more
free memory.
* not enough memory for yum
99% of the attempts to install anything resulted in OOM kills
* speed of GNOME interface was acceptable
really, this was the biggest surprise I had...
Conclusion:
fedora-olpc, to be a sucess, needs a much slimmer UI than that
of GNOME.
