Gnome and Fedora-12 on ARM

Here are some screenshots of my kirkwood DB (1.2 GHz and 512 MB RAM, Matrox G550 graphics card) running Gnome. Pretty neat!
I am going to try XFCE desktop over the weekend. Lets see how that goes...

Here is a picture of my setup (taken 6 months ago)

Another awesome Fedora release!

  1. How usable is GNOME/XFCE and Fierfox on this platform. I am considering buying an Open-RD client board and I asm not sure if performance is acceptable.

    Thanks

  2. Depends on your use-case. You ofcourse cannot use it as your primary working machine :-D

    I have tried the Gnome+firefox and XFCE+midori combination. Midori on XFCE looks good speed-wise and has the minimal functionality you expect of a browser. Firefox crashes on my system after a while (15 min or so, even if there's no activity) with a segmentation fault. We're looking into it.

    The OpenRD client's hardware compares with the board I have and XFCE on it is smooth. Gnome gives a miniscule lag, but no so much as to make it unusable.
