thanks Peter Robinson for such a wonderful reply..
But I still want to ask a few things i.e I want to get engaged in the work
to test and rectify the fedora for different hardware available such as
pandaboard/beagleboard etc..
How to be a part of that? Whom to contact for it..
You already have these devices? If so there's details on how to get
started on the wiki [1] and here on the list or IRC are as good a
place as any to report progress or ask questions.

Please help
