Hi Mark, Presumably you're signed up to raspberrypi.org and view the forums etc ? The twitter feed also has some interesting news at times Did you actually manage to order one, or just to register interest ? Cheers Derek

I have a Raspberry Pi on order, and also one of these boards from eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tiny6410-4-3-android-S3C6410-ARM11-development-board-/220772707814 Both use ARM1176JZF-S (ARMv6) although from different manufacturers and therefore with differences in areas like the GPU. I also have an EfikaMX (http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=Smarttop) which uses a Cortex-A8 (ARMv7), and a GuruPlug (ARMv5). The EfikaMX I have up and running (it only needed switching on :-), I've never had much luck with the GuruPlug. I note that Ubuntu (my normal distro of choice) has dropped support for ARMv6 (ARMv7 is the minimum now). I know very little about getting Linux up and running on non-x86 hardware so this could all be an interesting learning experience. My aim is simple: to progress past the point of buying new toys to a point where they do something! Anyone here have any experience? When the kit arrives I may even make it to a PLUG meet with it. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
