Fedberry
Fedberry is a Fedora Remix specifically built for use with Raspberry Pi® 2/3 Model B computers. The major differences between Fedora arm releases as compared to FedBerry releases are: • The use of our own custom kernels (using the Raspberry Pi foundation’s bcm2709 kernel port). • The use of Raspberry Pi foundation’s own bootloader (ie. we don’t use uboot). • The use of swap files in lieu of swap partitions. • tmpfs is enabled but size limited to 100M. • The root partition is automatically expanded on first boot. • Various RPi specific applications / software are included by default. • To facilitate optional headless booting, a default root password is set in the ‘minimal’ release. For further information on Fedberry releases please visit fedberry.org or https://github.com/fedberry/fedberry.

VeraCrypt
VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format. Documentation: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Documentation.html FAQ : https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/FAQ.html
