<hr>
Pidora 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) compiled specifically for the ARMv6 architecture used on the Raspberry Pi, packages which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access.
== Remix Releases ==
Currently available:
* [[Pidora 18 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix)]]
Previous Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix releases (not optimized for the ARMv6 architecture):
* [[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]].
