== How big is the Remix? ==
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14 fits comfortably on a 2GB SD cardwith a few hundred MB available, though you may want a larger one so you have card to leave more room for extra programs or for data. There is a lot of software available for the Remix that isn't in the initial card image -- you can [[Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix_Administration#Updating.2C_Adding.2C_and_Removing_Software|add and remove]] software to get exactly the combination you want.
== What's in the Remix? == The Remix package set was selected to provide a good selection of packages for both graphical and non-graphical operation, while providing a manageable download size and installing onto a 2GB SD card. Here are some highlights of the applications included: * Desktop GUI environments** LXDE** XFCE* GUI applications** Abiword** Gimp** Gedit with syntax highlighting and plugins (terminal, python console, file manager, etc)** Graphical file manager** Tools to add/remove and update software** System administration tools* Command-line applications** Vim** Yum to add/remove and update software** Utilities such as wget, curl, units** System administration tools* Scripting languages** python** ruby** perl** basic (brandy)** bash* System services** sshd - remote access** cron - scheduled tasks** cups - printing Other software can be easily added or removed using the graphical (gnome-packagekit) or command-line (yum) tools. == Why is the Remix so slow? ==
The GUI in particular is slow, because the 2D graphics (the X Window System) are not yet connected to the 3D graphics processing unit on the SOC.
