I just got a Raspberry Pi B as a gift. If you want to play around, I can set up an account on it and give you shell access.

I bought from Lion Electronics. Good service. took about 3 weeks. got the new version (512Mb ram). ~250nis (include all taxes + express Shipping) http://www.lion.co.il/ On 02/24/2013 04:33 PM, Geoffrey S.

Re: Raspberry PI questions
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'm not sure I can actually use it, but if I do, I now know where to buy them from. I also got a reply about the USB (I don't know if it was to me direct or to the list, so I'll just say thanks and summarize to the list): The model A has a single USB port on the board. It is connected directly to the USB type A port. The model B also has the single USB port. It is connected to a three port hub. The hub is connected to the two USB type A connectors and a USB ethernet interface. So the USB bandwidth is shared between both type A ports and ethernet. I was speaking today to someone who is in contact with people working downward in the same direction I am working upward. I was looking at taking a Raspberry Pi and building an application on it. The people he was speaking to already had the application running on X86 hardware and were in the process of porting it to DD-WRT routers and the Raspberry Pi. They are having problems because the single USB port does not provide enough bandwidth In my case it may be possible as I only want to go one direction, they were going two. Thanks again to everyone.

Do you actually get that much of network traffic and USB traffic?

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.
