Hello All,
Been a long time since I got back on the list.
Anyone ordered a Raspberry Pi? Curious to see what folks that get one end
up doing with it. When I saw them announced, I was very tempted.
Thanks

Martin,
I'd agree with you in general; however, I'm an Atrix owner, and I really
don't see how it can claim to be in any way functionally equivalent to a

Doesn't a SoC board, with a few USB ports, ethernet, video and audio out,
just become a PC with the addition of a USB hub providing fanout to a
keyboard, mouse and a bit more storage?
Just like the mobile device manufacturers (to wit Motorola with Atrix and
Asus with Transformer ) want us to think, the distinct category of "PC" is
fast disappearing.

Sorry to be so ignorant, but I haven't heard of the Raspberry Pi before.
The posts seems to indicate it as a mini PC; however, it seems to be
just a
SoC board?

Will Microsoft be able to lock this down?
In some ways this is a good question. As far I understand it M$
attempts to lock down the Arm platform in Europe will fail due to EU
law. Not allowed to do what they want to do. Might be that under
U.S. law they can do something ? Not sure about the latter. Whatever
else happens they will certainly use their marketing power to drive
out GNU/Linux from the ARM CPU in the way that they did from the Asus
EeePC.
Only Linux fans will know that Linux exists. In the U.K. the Pi is
aimed at the educational market. Which is owned by Microsoft under
direction from Whitehall. Say n'more ?...<cough> Winduhs advert...
