For early background, see proposed features and emerging details going way back to our Los Angeles meetup Feb 21-23, 2014. Closer to game time, please see many other refinements (weekly minutes) since.

  • Supported Hardware: x86 (NUC, XO-1.5) & ARM (RPi 2?)
    • Stretch Goals: XO-4 and any other servers required by Fiji/Rwanda/etc.
    • Be Warned that certain hardware support will be delayed into early 2016.
  • Supported OS's:
    • Fedora 18 32-bit
    • Fedora 21 32-bit
    • Fedora 22 32-bit and 64-bit
    • Fedora 23 32-bit (anticipated) and 64-bit
    • CentOS "7.1" (1503) for long-term "enterprise" support on NUC especially.
    • CentOS "7.2" (1511) anticipated, given its close similarity (currently "yum update" on any CentOS should lead to "7.2" = 1511)
