I've been watching fedora vs CentOS as a platform pretty closely. You hit the key issue that I have come across. Most of the hardware that looks suitable is pretty new. The manufactures are scurrying to get the boards working with Fedora. The second issue is compatibility with XOs as Schools Server. If we go with CentOS we need to maintain a separate branch from the OLPC-OS based branch. Would you care to revisit this in Sept when we start planning for XSCE 0.5? We can revisit this with more information... and hopefully CentOS on Arm will have progressed nicely! > Regards > > - KB > -- > Karanbir Singh > +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh > GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc > _______________________________________________ > Server-devel mailing list > server-de...@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel -- David Farning Activity Central: http://www.activitycentral.com _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list server-de...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
