</span>Fedora 25 will have Raspberry Pi support for both the RPi2 and RPi3 as<br>
part of Beta due in a couple of weeks.<br>

</span>In our builds (Fedora Minimal/Server etc editions) you'll be able to<br>
dd the image out and boot it on either device without any changes.<br>

</span>Having been testing both the 2 and 3 I can easily see this. It's<br>
fairly basic... the v2 is 900mhz quad core, the v3 is 1.2ghz with 4<br>
cores. So that's instantly 1/3 increase.<br>
<br>
In RPi3 news I almost fell over when the firmware made it upstream<br>
into linux-firmware the other day! Not all the drivers are upstream<br>
yet though. I'm going to review how terrible and how many patches are<br>
needed to try and get it landed for F-25 GA. Time will tell....<br>
