Fedora Remix<br />

The <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi Fedora Remix is a Linux software distribution for the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi<br />

computer. It contains software packages from the Fedora Project (specifically, the Fedora<br />

ARM secondary architecture project), packages which have been specifically written for<br />

or modified for the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi, and proprietary software provided by the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi<br />

Foundation for device access.<br />

Debian (Squeeze/6.x)<br />

http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/<br />

Debian (http://www.debian.org/) was the default distribution on the Alpha boards. Boot<br />

time depends on width & speed of SD-card. Alpha board boot into Debian prompt (no<br />

GUI) was timed taking about 34 seconds.<br />

The Debian distro for <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a<br />

fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop) and Midori<br />

(browser); development tools; and sample code for accessing the multimedia<br />

functionality on the device.<br />

Arch<br />

Arch Linux ARM (http://archlinuxarm.org) is based on Arch Linux<br />

(http://www.archlinux.org/) , which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It<br />

provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs.<br />

For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi does not come with a<br />

graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the<br />

Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />

Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small<br />

packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />
