[Server-devel] New Toys: Fedora 25 on RPi3 / XSCE 6.1 on Raspbian

[Adam Holt]

Has anybody tried the Aug 3rd/4th CentOS 7 build for RPi3 (and like it /
hate it?)

Profound Thanks Jerry / others who replied privately!

Jerry & All,

1) Is anyone testing Peter Robinson's Fedora 25 Beta on RPi3 yet, as
released Oct 11

Not yet but with my recent ansible2.1 testing should work.

Does the above imply http://kraxel.org  and http://fedberry.org are less
needed going forward?  Regardless whether CentOS ever later legit-lands on
RPi3

That is a possibillity.

2) Is anybody testing George Hunt's work pushing XSCE 6.1 onto RPi3 yet, as
similarly released experimentally in early Oct 3?

3) Is there MicroSD card support for moving entire images from 64GB to
128GB MicroCards (expanding the partition) and back to 64GB later if nec
(shrinking the partition, possibly even to another manufaturer of MicroSD
cards whose partitionable space is slightly smaller by 1% etc?!

Parted

F25 is still ~3 weeks away from final release, and XSCE 6.1 is still
shaking out a couple fixes in general on all platforms, but any
feedback/experiences around the above RPi3 opportunities would be highly
useful to all, as many seek to build authentic community around one or
both/all above approaches !
