Interesting idea - StartUp Health Launches First Class Of Healthcare Transformers - TechCrunch



Tweet

It was only a few days ago that we brought in co-founders Unity Stoakes and Steven Krein to discuss their new startup Academy, StartUp Health. It's an entirely free, long-term program that is aiming to equip developers, designers, medical professionals and entrepreneurs with the skills and resources necessary to transform the healthcare industry.

Hearing this, and knowing that the medical industry more so than most is in dire need of some innovation, we simply couldn't resist checking out the inaugural class launch, where ten new healthcare startups came together in NYC to build out their companies and change the way we take care of ourselves.

The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is ready for download!

What is the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix?

The Remix is a distribution comprised of software packages from the Fedora ARM project, plus a small number of additional packages that are modified from the Fedora versions or which cannot be included in Fedora due to licensing issues – in particular, the libraries for accessing the VideoCore GPU on the Raspberry Pi.

The SD card image for the Remix includes a little over 640 packages, providing both text-mode and graphical interfaces (LXDE/XFCE) with an assortment of programming languages, applications, system tools, and services for both environments. There are over 16,000 software packages available from the Fedora ARM repositories which can be easily installed using the Internet to customize your system to meet your needs and interests (again, using either command-line or graphical tools).

Some of the highlights of the software included in the SD card image:

• Programming languages: python, perl, ruby, bash
• Version control: git
• System administration tools (command line and/or graphical) for configuring various aspects of the system including the network, date/time, users, and printers
• Command-line and graphical tools for installing/removing/updating software
• ssh (secure remote login) and printer services
• Graphical applications: word processing (AbiWord), spreadsheets (Gnumeric), image editing (GIMP), and web browsing (Firefox)
• Editors for programming: vim (text mode) and gedit with plugins for file management, terminal, and python console (graphical mode)
