Raspberry PI questions
Does anyone know of a company selling them here? I'm looking for them with a reasonable price, e.g. board, cheap shipping and VAT, as opposed to board and expensive shipping from out of the country. Second question, which I can't quite find an answer, does the model B have 2 separate USB ports, or one USB port spilt with an on board hub? Thanks in advance, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

As far as the hardware is concerned, you can connect two USB cables.

Re: Raspberry PI questions
If you're not in a rush, I can bring it with me in a couple of weeks. I'm coming for the mini maker faire at jerusalem science museum. Let me know. Michael P.s. Mouser has a distributor in Israel. Do they carry the pi? On 02/24/2013 01:12 PM, Lior Okman wrote: On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 4:33 PM, Geoffrey S.

[YBA] Linux on Intel R1000GZ
Hi Linux-IL colleagues,
Last night I installed CentOS 6.3 on an Intel R1000GZ server.
My intent at first was to install Debian Wheezy, but I was unable to find
information on drivers for Debian that support either the RSTe or ESRT2
(LSI) configuration of the RAID card.
So after giving up on Wheezy I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 desktop. This
distribution detected the RAID in RSTe configuration, but apparently not
correctly since at the end of the installation it was unable to install
grub anywhere.
It seems that Intel only supports RHEL and Oracle Linux on the R1000GZ
servers, so my third option, which succeeded, was to install CentOS 6.3
with the BIOS RAID in RSTe configuration.
The reasoning behind not trying harder to find a solution for Wheezy
is that by using a base OS that supports the board OOTB I will have a
better chance of getting automated notification of updates for the RSTe
drivers and any other proprietary drivers without manual searching. In any
event, I only intend to use the CentOS as a host OS for other mostly
Debian-based OS's. Is this reasoning sound, or am I a wimp for giving up
on Wheezy? In general, would installing the base OS that best fits the
board regardless of other (mostly ideological) considerations be the best
advice to customers, considering the support implications? (I am assuming
that selecting the board for the OS is not, in general, an option.)
Purim Sameah,
- yba
