ARM chips are the most popular CPUs in the world - over 5 billion are produced annually. Most of these end up in embedded devices and cell phones, but there is increasing interest in using ARM processors in server applications. A Plug Computer is a tiny server the size of a power adapter that uses the same energy as a nightlight. The Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology has been working on the Fedora-ARM port. In this workshop, you'll set up Fedora on a Plug Computer to be a household server.
