The Remix was produced by the [[Main Page|Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology]] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
 
== How big is the Remix? ==
 
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14 fits comfortably on a 2GB SD card. However, 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.
 
== 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.
 
== Where's the app for ...? ==
 
There are 16,000 software packages in the repositories, so it's probably there -- see the notes on [[Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix_Administration#Updating.2C_Adding.2C_and_Removing_Software|adding and removing]] software.
 
If you don't find what you need, it might be hiding under a different name (search diligently, and ask the community!), or it might not work on ARM systems (yet), or it might not be packaged for Fedora. Consider packaging it for Fedora, or asking the community to package it for you.
 
== Where are the C and C++ compilers, development tools, and libraries? ==
 
They take about 600M of space, so they aren't included in the initial image (although perl, python, ruby, bash, and basic (''brandy'') are included). This command will install the entire basic development environment: <code>yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code>
== What does the term "Fedora Remix" mean? ==
(Just be sure you respect all of the license terms applicable to the various packages, such as making the source code available, as well as the [[:fedora:Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Secondary_Mark|Secondary Mark]] requirements).
 
== The Remix doesn't configure swap space. How can I add it? ==
 
See the notes on [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Administration#Adding_Swap_Space|adding swap]].
