Fedora is a little annoying I'd use openSUSE over it anyday...

Ubuntu suggests using XUbuntu (with Xfce) for lower power systems, I'd try going that way.

ok, I have Ubuntu all up and running. I have put a few of the suggested programs on (Wine and VLC). It came with a few already (pidgeon, gimp, firefox). I am thinking about Amarok. But I really don't know how much I will be listening to music on this thing.
