[Arm-dev] Getting started / Build machines

[D.S. Ljungmark]

Will Fedora 20 work, or is it F19 or bust? ( the reason I'm asking is
that we have a functional F20 image for them. )

mock configs would be excellent. I'll have to postpone getting it
running for a week or so due to the aforementioned missing
sysadmin-time.

Regards,
  D.S.
