    The current Fedora/RasPi build was pretty broken at release. Lots of people struggling with the default username and password not working after a while. And they released it on the forums before speaking to the RasPi foundation or giving the mirrors any content I wonder how many people who would normally go straight for Fedora (like me, a RHEL, CentOS, Fedora bigot) are now considering the Debian image instead?

    I've been working with Liam on the Fedora and Arch download servers. Both images *should* fit on a 2GB card once uncompressed, but a 4GB is recommended by most people we've spoken to as not all 2GB cards seem to be able to take 2GB of data without overlaping or running out of space on partitions. For what its worth I'm buying 4GB cards. Dos_box and ZeroHour will be posting some of our guides and datasheets here over the next few days, two of which cover downloading images and extracting to SD cards. Turbo

    Thanks Gareth, This is great news. Liam Fraser will be writing a new sets of tutorials and trainiing resources next week that could be used with this VM: Liam Fraser - http://www.frambozenbier.org - raspberry pi homebrew news and tutorials check back next week to see the new ones, or view his existing tutorials here: Kanal von RaspberryPiTutorials - YouTube

    I spoke to ZeroHour about the forums last week, but as these are new we're only going to start moving into sub-forums once we have enough content to actually spread out. Back on-topic: Hi Vikpaw, A few people have suggested using the RasPi as a brain for a spine of Aurdinos. The logic goes, that the RasPi is more powerfull, is visual, and easier to program, but the Aurdino and shields are ideally suited to connecting motors, relays, etc.etc. without needing to use something like the GertBoard. Personally I'd like to see them used to teach proper parralel/multi-threaded/grid programming instead of just running a traditional app over multiple cores. You could have an 8 port switch with 7 RasPis and an uplink cable and treat it like a grid or cloud compute resource? Can you image kids leaving school having passed an exam with an Amazon EC2 project or RasPi equivalent project. They would be (dare I say it) "Employable".

    Has anyone used Arch Linux before? Is it worth losing the familiarity of Fedora for the lower memory footprint of Arch or should I just stick with Fedora. I'm only thinking of using it as a very basic desktop with a web browser (possibly as a kiosk), just for a bit of fun whern the RasPi comes out later this month.

    Is bash a prgramming language suitable for use in education, or does it just make kids lazy? "...Bash is fantastically powerful but I would never introduce it to my students, unless of course they already have programming experience and they have a need for it. Even then I would choose C over bash scripting... " Bash - Programming | Educational applications | Forum | Raspberry Pi

    The Verge has some you-tube videos of the Raspberry Pi mini-computer running XBox Media Centre and Apple Air-play here: Raspberry Pi demonstrated running XBMC and AirPlay | The Verge

    The Pi's backers have drawn inspiration from the BBC Micro. Produced in the 1980s by Acorn computers for the BBC Computer Literacy Project, they were widely adopted in British Schools. BBC Basic, the programming language which ran on the machines, provided a gentle introduction to the challenges of coding. Now it is set for a revival on the Raspbery Pi (or RasPi as it has become known) BBC News - Raspberry Pi bids for success with classroom coders Raspberry Pi specifications: Cost: Model A $25 (£16) and Model B $35 (£22) Weight: 45g Dimensions: 86mm x 54mm x 17mm Power: 5v micro USB Processor: ARM 11, 700MHz Memory: Model A, 128MB and Model B 256MB Connectivity: 10/100 wired Ethernet on model B Operating system: RISC OS, Linux. Debian, Fedora and ArchLinux will be supported from the start.

    I work in desktop VDI so im looking to build a Citrix thin client with mine

    Are you going to buy one? and if so what are you going to use it for?
  13. Turbo-FB
    Yes, you're right. The different platforms have their own sub-sections now under the "Frambozenbier: Raspberry Homebrew forums" Frambozenbier: RasPi Forums P.S. your fast, ZeroHour only enabled these forums last night!

    Is anyone else here planning on buying a Raspberry Pi and putting Fedora on it?

    ARM chips are the most widely-produced processor family in the world; they have historically been used in cell phones and embedded applications, and are increasingly used in tablet devices and low-power-consumption servers. The Fedora-ARM project is an initiative to bring Fedora to this processor family. More Info about ther ARM builds for the Raspberry Pi can be found here: Architectures/ARM - FedoraProject
