thus not hf. A month or so back, the PI foundation changed their default distro from "wheezy" (eabi,v5) to raspbian.
So far the Raspbian image is pretty rubbish, compared to the pre-configure one I bought on my SD card. I guess the "raspbian" it too much "bleeding egde" (read super unstable). The Raspbian one has errors in raspi-config, so I can set my Dvorak keyboard layout. Eventually figuring out where the keys are in Qwerty, I managed to start X. The desktop that loads has NO icons, no menu items, and the menu items that do exist don't work. I couldn't even manage to run a lxterminal. I can't even exit the OpenBox session that is running - I had to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then Ctrl+C to kill the X server. The mouse pointer is also really slugish in the X session, and freezes for a split second every 2-3 seconds. It's like something is polling the system every 2-3 seconds, and freezing the UI while it does.
So for now, I'll restore back to my original Debian 6 "wheezy" (thank goodness I took a backup) where things worked much smoother. It might not be the most optimised OS for the Raspberry Pi, but it works much better.
I'll report my problems, so hopefully in the next Raspbian release things will work better.
