I guess I'll start with my specs.

Asus A8R-MX Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
ATI Xpress 200 Integrated VC
1GB Ram
160GB HDD - Duel Boot WinXP


Everything installed fine, I installed from the internet using a net install with UNetBootin to save on the 100s of cds I waste on linux each week. I was pretty upset that you couldn't resize the partition if it was a NTFS(Actually, I don't think you can resize any partition), so I had to boot into windows to do that.

After that, I poped over to my favorite site and downloaded my favorite video drivers. Everything worked there, surprisingly easy thanks to livna. Then installed Exaile, my favorite little music player, since rthymbox sucks. :D It was updated to its latest version of 2.11b. Also, found that NTFS-3g was already installed, that was very nice and ntfs-config was in the livna, which was even nicer.

After the horizontal bars in the bottom right corner of the screen, i found a fix. So far so good and its doing great. Then after trying to enable compiz but without luck, that still a work in progress. Stupid pixmap error in opengl.

And thats as far as I have gotten with fedora. :D

Also, I know its sloppy but I just wanted to get it done. :D
