== What does the term "Fedora Remix" mean? ==
The term [[:fedora:Remix|Fedora Remix]] has a special meaning within the Fedora Project: it denotes a custom distribution of packages from the Fedora Project, optionally including packages which cannot be included in the main Fedora distribution because of licensing or other issues. In the case of the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix, the Pidora does not contain proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the SOC vendor Broadcom cannot be included directly that is not allowed in Fedora([[:fedora:Licensing:Main#Binary_Firmware|Binary Firmware]]), however it will still remain a Fedora Remix.
In a practical sense, the Fedora Remix accesses software package repositories from the Fedora ARM project as well as a set of repositories specific to the Raspberry Pi, which are manged by Seneca. The Remix images are built from these repositories, and they are also accessed by yum for package update/installation/removal.
