I currently have Xastir running on my Laptop, and I'm building my first true Linux only desktop for home use as I type this. Both PC's run (or will run) openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.3 desktop. The laptop is running fine, and I hope that my Desktop has the same good luck.

The "jolly old fatmam" delivered a nice shiny ACER Aspire One netbook this year.. I must have been really good. I've installed the 2Gig memory chip and was thinking about putting Xastir on there. I was thinking about just running a virtual machine, but now I'm really starting to think about splitting the HD in 2, and running Linux in the second partition. It seems that Ubuntu Remix is the only real solution out there so I was wondering if anyone else happens to be running Xastir on a netbook before I start messing with partitions or anything like that. I'm happy with openSUSE and I've been reading that there are some extra steps needed to get Ubuntu to run with Xastir.

Sorry to ramble, but Xastir is really my main reason for even trying to put Linux on the netbook (besides the M$ debate)- and I want to make sure I'm going to be able to run Xastir on there.
