I ordered one at Farnell earlier (you know, for the kids to play with), but have been told I'm not getting it until mid April. I'm not bothered what interpreters and languages it comes with to be honest. From what they've said they are using standard Linux distros which means pretty much any language is only an apt-get or a yum away. (I think it was mentioned Fedora is the one that comes with it.) I'm intrigued to find out what (if any) educational software has been made specifically for the device so far. I watch with interest the Playpower.org project whose aims are broadly parallel with those of Raspberry Pi (ultra low-cost educational machine, uses a TV for a display, volunteer coding effort), but it never really got the press behind it the way Raspberry Pi appears to have done.
