<hr>
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] computer. It contains software packages from the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] (specifically, the [[:fedora:architecture/ARM|Fedora ARM]] secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access.
Currently available:
* [[Pidora 18 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14)]] * Improved libraries for hacking * Optimized build for the Raspberry Pi's processor * [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 18]]
* [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 17]]
== Obtaining and Installing the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix == Refer to [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Installation]] for instructions on preparing an SD card containing the Remix software. == Setting Up the Raspberry Pi for First Time Use == This is the recommended system configuration for first time startup:# Connect the Raspberry Pi to a high-definition monitor or TV using the HDMI output (HDMI and DVI-D are basically the same signals, so an HDMI-DVI adapter can be used).# Connect a USB keyboard (and, optionally, a USB mouse).# Plug in an ethernet cable connected to an IPv4 network with a DHCP server and Internet gateway. The Remix will use this connection to set the system clock.# Insert the SD card.# Apply power. == First Boot == During the first boot of the system, two processes take place:# the image is resized to fill the SD card.# if the system is being used interactively, the user is prompted to do final system configuration (set the root password, create a user account, set the timezone, and select character-mode or graphical default operation). These processes are managed by the [[Raspberry Pi Init Scripts]]. == System Administration: Managing the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix == The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is administered using standard Linux system administration procedures. For specific tips, see:* [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Administration]]* (Add resources here!) == Suggested Packages == For suggestions on packages to meet particular needs and which run well on the Raspberry Pi, see [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14 - Suggested Packages]]. == Helping with the Remix == The Remix is based on [[:fedora:Architectures/ARM|Fedora ARM]]. If you're interested in improving the Remix, please consider participating in the Fedora project. The Fedora community is very welcoming, and there are [http://join.fedoraproject.org instructions on the Fedora web site] on how to join and participate in Fedora, whether as a software developer and packager, translator, documentation writer, artist, designer, ambassador, or teacher. The Remix was produced at the [[Main Page|Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology]], which hosts the [[Fedora ARM Koji Buildsystem|Fedora ARM build system]]. To learn why this is a Remix and not a direct Fedora release, please see the [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix FAQ|FAQ]]. == Getting Help ==
