Raspbery Pi Configuration
The [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] device is a tiny, inexpensive ARM microcomputer designed to use in educational environments (also of interest to experimenters and hackers). This project involves optimizing Fedora to run as efficiently as possible on the Raspberry Pi, including:
* Tuning the kernel
** Adding access to the GPIO pins
** Tuning for size
** Building a suitable module set (USB device drivers)
* Tuning the startup scripts
** Optimizing for startup speed and size
* Configuring a GUI to run in 128MB (model "A" devices)
** Optimizing the X configuration
* Reducing and/or limiting Firefox's memory consumption
* Testing alternate web browsers
This project will also involve:
* Selecting the software to be included on the initial filesystem (i.e., default package set)
** Programming environments
* Building a repository to distribute any software that is not included in Fedora
