Raspberry Pi adopts Fedora Remix

As we know Raspberry Pi is an interesting mini multimedia computer, constituted in practice by a tiny motherboard on which is installed a SoC Broadcom BCM2835 low-power, formed by a processor ARM1176JZ-F to 700 MHz and a co-processor media VideoCore IV able to carry out operations of encoding and decoding of video streams in Full HD 1080p resolution and 30 FPS. Coupled with this SoC are then 128 or 256 MB of SRAM memory, a card reader SD / MMC / SDIO, USB port, one HDMI and one Ethernet port, all contained in the size of a USB stick.
The cost of this solution is particularly tight, we speak about 17 euros for the basic version, a niche product, but particularly suitable for those seeking a simple, economical and space-saving uses for basic multimedia. The lack of a memory dedicated to the mass storage does not have to worry about another, since the system has been designed to accommodate an OS residing on memory card, another solution which, together with the choice of the SoC and the quantity of RAM, approaches This very small PC to a smartphone than a few years ago, adapted to the use of desktop, so to speak.
Just the operating system is the basis of the last delay on the release date, even if it is being delayed by a few days. A group of independent developers of Seneca College programs have developed a particular operating system, designed precisely to reside on a 2 GB SD card for use with Raspberry. This is the Fedora Remix, a lightweight version of Fedora, the Linux operating system based, in turn derived from the Red Hat distribution
As Fedora Remix is ​​essential in its endowment, not, however, lacks a GUI, a web browser, a word processing software and development tools and will also be expandable in the future with third party software. The system just needed a few more days to be ready to be installed on ships with the SD and Raspberry Pi, where the slight postponement of the debut. Just as with a smartphone, tablet or any embedded device, therefore, the first time just connect a monitor to the HDMI output and a keyboard and mouse to the USB port on your desktop ready to find this mini PC, without any need agggiuntivi settings.
