Fedora-ARM on the Raspberry Pi (Seneca CDOT)
Channel: Chris Tyler
Date: 2011-10-19

The Raspberry Pi is a $25/$35 computer based on a Broadcom ARM chip. The Fedora ARM secondary architecture project has ported the Fedora Linux distribution to ARM-based devices. Faculty and students at Seneca College involved with the Fedora ARM project are configuring and optimizing it to work with the Raspberry Pi.

This is a quick peek at Fedora 13 running on an alpha Raspberry Pi board (model "B"). The GUI is LXDE; apps shown include AbiWord and gEdit (with plugins).

Fedora 15 ARM and the Raspberry Pi device are both expected to be available in November, 2011. For more information:
