Yes on the Raspbian distro. Did not have a chance to really work with it. Basically just got it up on the screen, did some basic setup, then shut it down. Hoping to get more into it in a week or so.
By the way if anyone wants to get their hands on a pi, I can send you an extra I have for cost ($35 plus shipping). I guess I should say US only to avoid shipping problems. I'm assuming they are still back-order items, although they must be getting close to a million units produced by now.
