    Very good Andrew, i have been using pidora 20 for months afyer
    following Mace Moneta's yum release update method from koji,

    and many pidora users approached me for my Pidora
      20 image before your release, of course they needed to remove
    the amateur radio software, easily

    with yum remove ......

    
    This is my yum repository ;

    
    http://vk4tux.no-ip.org/repo/Fedora/20/armv6hl/

    
    It works wonderfully. I the repository issue
      currently with  
    
    raspberrypi-kernel-3.12.17-1.20140415git1782035.rpfr20.armv6hl.rpm

            needs sorting out, which currently stalls yum updates .It
            can be worked around if forced manually installed..

            
            These things will put the general user off the OS though.
            Also the repository server speed, could be better.

            
            Thankyou.

      We recently released Pidora 2014 as
        may already know if you received the initial announcement we
        sent out last week,
        however there was a Pidora.ca DNS issue
        which unfortunately disrupted the availability of the image.
        This issue has been resolved and you will now be able to access
        the latest release of Pidora 2014.

              Pidora 2014 (Raspberry Pi
                Fedora Remix) Release
                

                We're excited to announce the release of Pidora 2014 --
                

                an optimized Fedora Remix for the Raspberry Pi. 

                It is based on a brand new build of Fedora for the ARMv6
                

                architecture with greater speed and includes packages 

                from the Fedora 20 package set. 

                 
                * * * 

                 
                There are some interesting new features we'd like to
                highlight:

                 
                * Rootfs-Resize now works with logical partitions 

                * Raspberrypi kernel-devel package has been added 

                * New Pidora 2014 splash screen 

                * New Pidora logos 

                * Improved Headless Mode can be used with setups lacking
                a  

                    monitor or display 

                * Much faster boot speed 

                * Faster and smoother graphical usability, with Xorg
                fbturbo driver 

                * Almost all of the Fedora 20 package set available via
                yum 

                    (thousands of packages were built from the official
                Fedora 

                    repository and made available online) 

                * Compiled specifically to take advantage of the
                hardware already 

                    built into the Raspberry Pi 

                * Graphical firstboot configuration (with additional
                modules 

                    specifically made for the Raspberry Pi) 

                * Compact initial image size (for fast downloads) and
                auto-resize 

                    (for maximum storage afterwards) 

                * Auto swap creation available to allow for larger
                memory usage 

                * C, Python, & Perl programming languages available
                & included 

                    in the SD card image 

                * IP address information can be read over the speakers
                and 

                    flashed with the LED light 

                * For graphical operation, Gedit text editor can be used
                with 

                    plugins (python console, file manager, syntax
                highlighting) 

                    to serve as a mini-graphical IDE 

                * For console operation, easy-to-use text editors are
                included 

                    (nled, nano, vi) plus Midnight Commander for file
                management 

                * Includes libraries capable of supporting external
                hardware 

                    such as motors and robotics (via GPIO, I2C, SPI) 

                 
                * * *
