[Xastir] Xastir on a a Netbook

[Phil - w2lie]

I currently have Xastir running on my Laptop, and I'm building my first 
true Linux only desktop for home use as I type this.  Both PC's run (or 
will run) openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.3 desktop.  The laptop is running 
fine, and I hope that my Desktop has the same good luck.

The "jolly old fatmam" delivered a nice shiny ACER Aspire One netbook 
this year..  I must have been really good.  I've installed the 2Gig 
memory chip and was thinking about putting Xastir on there.  I was 
thinking about just running a virtual machine, but now I'm really 
starting to think about splitting the HD in 2, and running Linux in the 
second partition.  It seems that Ubuntu Remix is the only real solution 
out there so I was wondering if anyone else happens to be running Xastir 
on a netbook before I start messing with partitions or anything like 
that.  I'm happy with openSUSE and I've been reading that there are some 
extra steps needed to get Ubuntu to run with Xastir.

Sorry to ramble, but Xastir is really my main reason for even trying to 
put Linux on the netbook (besides the M$ debate)- and I want to make 
sure I'm going to be able to run Xastir on there.
