Getting Fedora 21 setup and configured to comfortably work with Java on my new Raspberry Pi2. My last entry desribed the install.
I will describe how I configured things to make it efficient to test and develop Java on my Pi2:
- Boot to multi-user commandline (and how to start the graphical desktop if needed)
- Samba shared directories
- SSH without password from my workstations

I Got a Raspberry Pi2 ! It has a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB RAM.
I first tried noobs with Debian and it ran out of the noobs box very well. The noobs version of Fedora DID NOT because it was not built for the new version of the ARM processor in the Pi2. That was no big deal because thanks to user clivem on the Pi Forums an image was avaialble. See the forum link for the details. It is a full F21 version that is called FIDORA.
It was very easy to get this working. It is Fedora 21 for the ARM, with full yum repo support including rpmFusion.
