R on netbooks et al?

I'm having similar experiences on my Acer Aspire One. Everything will
work good. Only thing that takes a lot of time is compiling R if you are
in the habit of doing so.

On the Fedora version that came with my Acer Aspire One, I am even thinking of
compiling R itself as the current R version is 2.6.0 ...

Otherwise, everything seems fine and the keyboard is indeed the greatest
letdown so far (the tiny left mouse button a close second).
