I am using Fedora 17 on Acer 11.1 network, AMD 1G dual core
it works so far the best in speed - compared to the mint 13 (both Mate and Cinnamon), ubuntu 12.04 that I tested. Everything works out of the box: suspend, wireless ... Initially Selinux stops the dropbox to work, but I found the tweak online to go around it easily. Used to be a huge fan of ubuntu, but the divided states of unity, gnomeshell (for some reason gnome shell under ubuntu works too slow on my machine), MATE, cinnamon ... kept me away (for now) from my favorite debian based distribution ...
