There is custom blob driver for the OEM Xandros it ships with, and
changing distros seems to need running NDISwrapper with the included
XP driver.  I haven't seen word if my assumption of a kernel limit of
the RAM is in place.  The system sees 2GB in BIOS and XP on the system
does but booting the OEM Xandros only shows 1GB available.  I
theorized that they had the kernel built with a RAM limit.  I haven't
had a reply form someone who was able to try another Linux distro with
2GB.
