<div>The Fedora build is a desktop build (called a remix, so
probably not with all the bangs and whistles of the out of the
box DVD distro) and fits on a 2Gb SD card. The Debian build
is, I believe, more server oriented, but that's Debian
generally is. XFCE will run happily in 256Mb of RAM and there
are other small GUIs with the same kind of footprint/</div>

Yes, but at least its going to popularise Linux in the school
environment. Along with making coding fun. <br>
It will almost certainly not be a full standard install of either
Fedora or Debian. However it presents a breakthrough that can be
built on. <br>
