Re: getting started with a raspberry py
You can actually preconfigure the SD card image to enable wifi directly without needing an ethernet connection at all. There's a guide [here] on how to do it, and an earlier thread [here] on it. Basically you flash Raspbian Lite onto an SD card, then modify the image while the cards still in your PC to enable ssh, then you can add your network info, plug the card into the Pi, and tunnel in through wifi.
As for Orca, I think there were issues with ALSA and Pulse Audio that were causing problems, the last working solution required an external audio dongle for the Orca output to work with a Mate desktop environment. Not sure whats going on with that, but there's also been a few problems with ALSA getting bluetooth headphones working as well. On the flip side, I've found all my python dev tools can be easily ported over to the pi, along with OpenAL-Soft support. I've also been playing around with python based portable sonifiers similar to the Aftersight project, insert cheap webcam, a 5 dollar bluetooth controller, a pair of headphones, and a battery pack, then go for a walk, heh. A large part of what makes Raspi's so appealing isn't just the software side, but that its small, portable, can be powered by any number of cheap battery packs, and can be used to play around with all kinds of hardware like RC Cars, Drones, Robotic Arms, Computer Vision, Weather Stations, Radio Telescopes, or whatever crazy idea you happen to have at the moment.
