Does "use Fedora as the base" mean they'll be using binary packages as is
from
Fedora, without rebuilding them?
Yes! The vast majority of packages used in OLPC are vanilla fedora
packages. The packages that are branched for OLPC is currently very
low. I have around a dozen or so on my current list, although that
varies from time to time dependent on what they need to pull in from
upstream etc. Either way they don't do complete mass recompiles.
