Fedora Linux

This article is a stub. You can help the OLPC project by expanding it.

Fedora is the basic OS of OLPC XO laptop. This is the Linux distribution which is, previously called "Fedora Core", developed by Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat.

Because it is the Linux base chosen by the OLPC on which to develop Sugar, it is a reference for any other Linux distribution whose intention is to be an alternative or different take.

Fedora Core

Per Developers/Stack#Basic Platform, as of 2007-12-15 the OS is based on Fedora Core 7

Could someone in the know please replace this section with text describing which builds are based against which versions of Fedora Core? Has it always been Fedora Core 7? Is there a milestone build where it'll switch to Fedora Core 8?

What type of problems can you expect if you add one of the repositories at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/ to your yum repositories configuration and attempt to install packages from them?

Language Support

Fedora Core 6 uses the SCIM (Smart Common Input Framework) system to support multiple IMEs and keyboard layouts for multiple writing systems and languages. This includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many other languages.
