Re: Fedora on a NUC?

[Vikram Goyal <vikigoyal@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think there's another option with a much smaller carbon footprint & much lighter on pocket.
I only requires around 10 wattage per hour electricity usage (Wattage includes Modem electricity consumption also). Negligible wear & tear (EX: HD crashing due to sudden power loss) with almost same functionalities of like Open Source OS , Media Centre , Internet etc

Raspberry Pi (Wifi) (in place of NUC) + SDCard (In Place Of HD) + OpenElec Media Centre (In Place of Fedora). Connect it to your TV through HDMI port & access it's files through wifi,

Everyone:

Does anyone have experience with installing Fedora on a NUC?

In case anyone here doesn't know what a NUC is: it happens to stand for Next Unit of Computing. It is a 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.5-inch box having the minimal number of components to support desktop functions. You equip it with your own hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc., and can drive up to a 4K Ultra-style monitor. Some people use its VESA mount to mount it on the back of their TV. Result: instant smart TV--smarter than any TV in the store, because it can handle word processing and regular Web apps in addition to video and audio streaming.

Word is that it normally ships with Windows 10, but can support any number of distributions of Linux. I want to know whether Fedora is one of them.

It sounds like the ideal small office/media lab/home theater solution. Pair it with a good NAS and you have all the computing power you need, with a fraction of the physical--and carbon--footprint.

Comments? Suggestions? Success stories? Horror stories?
