From the article...
But the problem isn’t so much recoding Fedora so it's a “hacked-up,
skinny” Linux -- even though that wouldn't be difficult to do, said
Evans; the problem is making sure that it's optimized for the laptop’s
nonstandard, almost whimsical specifications. To keep costs down and
make it more durable, the laptop will eschew a hard drive in favor of
1GB of flash memory, on which the operating system, other software and
all local data must be stored.
I'd think this also means no ext2 or ext3 FS. Or any other
FS which keeps track of last access time.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
