For early background, see proposed features and Los Angeles details going way back to our meetup there Feb 21-23, 2014. Closer to game time please see XSCE 6.0's primary documents below, alongside weekly minutes for the very latest:

  • Supported Hardware:
    • x86 (NUC, XO-1.5)
    • ARM (Raspberry Pi 2?)
    • Stretch Goals: XO-4 Touch and any other servers required by Haiti/Fiji/Rwanda/etc.
    • Be Warned that certain hardware support will be delayed into 2016.
  • Supported OS's:
    • Fedora 18 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 (running "yum update" on any CentOS should lead to "7.2" = 1511)
