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
Old builds including the 406.XX series were based on Fedora Core 6.
The transition to Fedora 7 happened before the Trial 2 milestone (build 542) (OLPC Trial-2 Software Release Notes).
As of build 694, the OS is still Fedora 7 as can be seen in the build log.
Efforts to rebase to Fedora 9 are underway, targeted at the 8.2.0 release. Development efforts took place in the olpc3 stream but were merged into joyride as of build joyride-2072.
- What type of problems can you expect if you add one of the [koji repositories] to your configured [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.
