    Last I heard they were installing a hacked up Fedora, not sure which version though. Puppy Linux was a bit disapointed when they heard about it, since they were pushing their distro pretty hard. In my opinion, Puppy would have been a better choice, but I think Red Hat kind of put their weight to sway the decision.

    http://laptop.org does not have any details. I am hoping a LinuxForum member can provide me with an answer.
    A link from http://laptop.net provided this page :

    So you can download their special Fedora version from that site and try it yourself.
