Indeed! I know it's had some detractors, especially in the BeagleBoard and Pandaboard communities. I can't help thinking there's a touch of sour grapes there given the alliance those devices have with Broadcom competitors. Mine is due to arrive April 16th or so. I've already been asked by the ICT guy at my kids school if I can take it in and let him have a play with it. He wants to get some for the school to expand their ICT work. > My hope is that they do really well and it results in a second > version which is a bit more powerful and a bit more open. > Yeah. The initial one should work fine for a bit, especially for inquisitive minds. I would imagine a set of classes could easily be setup around the devices. > I think someone is working on a Lubuntu version, or at least a > custom LXDE port. > That's good to hear. The screenshots and demos I've seen seem to be showing LXDE on (I expect) Debian. I'd be happy to run Debian on mine. Mind you that's the beauty of those SD cards, you can have lots of them each with different desktops & distros etc. Looking forward to playing with it! - -- Alan Pope Engineering Manager Canonical - Product Strategy +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.p...@canonical.com http://ubuntu.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPV2Q4AAoJEMx6UFtfvV4w1ZMH/08WLp7srSDBcYPqvL1iQLAJ JhnpqdFFvpjJ9pEHAxHCwCtD8vZwx7lqsQSqWyaVmY8XKuHxn7qhnbYryRVSa1W0 p2O4MOZ06oz39cfJA6O20rZXfN+Cltk1xCvxoFSNxQWu6KRdH/vopiQRkF8hgi/q qVAFyPotG0ECN8ajT88r6ZlQd3M1CewUnf8FuM6QbSPYHyrH6E68U9+FRLsXt0EX VNUDZIkz+YsbvvGN+mRrIG35LhBPulqaN5fHp9hLKQDSW4iFbI0coNO70Cd7//Iy ZB758RK+ektI0M8ArVxiHrVS1Sv4zXtY3/272WraJjPU4/NdhTympr47UJNEwus= =gJBD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
