[Server-devel] ARM based XS ?

[rihoward1 at gmail.com]

Martin,

According to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM  
there is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 port for ARM.  The OpenRD comes with  
Fedora 8.
I mentioned this at the OLPC-SF meeting this morning and we are  
adding it to our projects list.  I have 1 or 2 people at the meeting  
volunteer to help me with  this.  As a result of the positive  
responses I am going to order the ARM machine to experiment with.  I  
am not sure when the hardware will actually ship once I place the  
order.  A shipping delay will give me time to read some of the  
documentation on building Fedora for ARM.

What size hard drive do you recommend for the XS?

thanks
/Robert H
