Hi Christoph,

I planned to experiment (still in progress) on an arm platform:

1/ Raspberry Pi with Pidora
Fedora working but slow

2/ Cubietruck with Fedora 20
Fedora installed following [1] and working. After experimenting disk
space problems on the micro SD-Card, by attempting to install the sugar
packages, I didn't yet manage to move further, moving the filesystem (or
part of it) from the sd-card to the 2,5" HD, that I added to the
configuration.

3/ Allwinner (A23) tablet with Fedora 20, with 1024x600 resolution
According to [2], there is an interesting and affordable platform in
tablet form factor, theorically suitable for an Fedora installation. The
sales dept quoted USD80.00 for 1 piece (USD48.00 + 32 for DHL) and
USD311.00 for 5 pieces (USD48.00 + 71.00 for DHL)
