> Any Micro-USB power source will work, though some might be better than others.
Would the Micro USB cable be ok from a powered USB hub? As I just mentioned, an idea that came to me was using the hub not only as a hub but a power source. But I don't know for sure that such would work. I don't see why not off my head, but I'm far from an expert on such ideas. > I use one from Monoprice and it works great. Thanks for that one. I'll look into that. > Buy a case for it. There are *tons* of options. > Adafruit carries a ton of them. http://adafruit.com/category/105 I'll have to look into that. Strange that two different magazine articles on the pi didn't mention that there are cases you can buy for them. > I currently use a 32GB card, and it works great. Buying a faster card That's a good tip. 32GB is likely enough for my needs, but I do want it to be somewhat fast. :) > The official distribution, Rasbian, contains plenty of packages.

I LOVE Gentoo! But I don't know as I'd want to take the time to compile things on a 700MHz chip. Besides, the Raspbian distro has some tools built in specifically for the pi, like overclocking utils and utils to change the system/video memory split. Fedora for ARM may or may not have those. Thanks for the info guys! --- Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
