I even tried the Debian system, as this is the recommended one, and Fedora is still described as ‘a little buggy’..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Apart from the fact that I find Debian immensely frustrating, the performance was not really any better, and I got annoyed at having to use primitive utilities (dpkg etc..)…<\/p>\n

I did notice that the Debian disk image included a swap partition, so I have added swap to the Fedora system…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am aware that swap files on SD Cards is somewhat controversial..<\/p>\n
