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.
== Installing the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Releases ==
=== Using Currently available:* [[Pidora 18 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix)]] * Improved libraries for hacking * Optimized build for the Installer ===Raspberry Pi's processor
The easiest way to install the * [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is to use the installer program.18]]
Needed:* A computer with at least 2 GB of free disk space, running one of these operating systems:** Fedora** Windows Vista or Windows 7** Other Linux* An SD or SDHC card, with a capacity of 2GB or more. (Good-quality class 4 cards usually work well). Do ''not'' use a MicroSD card with an adapter -- it will not be recognized by the [[Raspberry Pi.* An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to the computer or connected to a USB port* An Internet connectionFedora Remix 17]]
Steps== 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:# Download 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 installer from first boot of the appropriate linksystem, 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]]* (link 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 be providedjoin 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 == There are many sources of help available: * The Raspberry Pi Community** Web site and forums: http://raspberrypi.org** Wiki: http://elinux.org/RaspberryPiBoard** [[Irc|IRC]]: irc://irc.freenode.net/raspberrypi * The Fedora Community** Web site: http://fedoraproject.org** Wiki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki** Mailing lists:*** General discussion: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users*** Fedora-ARM: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm*** Developers and packagers: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel** [[Irc|IRC]]: irc://irc.freenode.net/fedora - irc://irc.freenode.net/fedora-arm * Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology** Web site and wiki (this wiki!): http://cdot.senecac.on.ca** [[Irc|IRC]]: irc://irc.freenode.net/seneca == Reporting Bugs and Suggesting Enhancements == Your help in identifying bugs and suggesting enhancements is very important!
