I've successfully installed Gentoo on my 10" netbook. |
| 12 |
I simply did 'emerge xorg-x11', which had 91 dependencies, |
| 13 |
which included lots of fonts. Fluxbox is working well. |

I prefer Luxi Mono for even-spaced font; size 8 seems best for a netbook. |

No problems with CPU power (ASUS 1005HA) or memory use. |
