Could this be the first ever post on NESA from a Raspberry Pi browser ? :) This little computer is going to be big. For those who dont know anything about the Raspberry Pi it is a tiny Linux computer the size of a pack of playing cards. It can play true HD movies direct to your TV via its own hdmi port , play games and run business apps. The computer was mainly introduced to encourage youngsters to discover the art of programming using a cheap system affordable by anyone. This little computer only costs £25 approx.

Loads more info and huge support on Google if interested.

Debian squeeze (debian6-19-04-2012) latest version for Pi Got to say it seems a bit buggy yet. Graphical interface has frozen a few times and the whole thing seems a little sluggish.

Very early days though and there are so many people supporting / writing for it all the little bugs should be ironed out soon :)

Managed to order mine dot on 7am the morning of release and still missed the first batch. Farnell has just shipped its second batch this week and I believe RS are shipping their second batch also. Fingers crossed you will get yours soon :) I work in an electronics manufacturing company and swear I could have built one myself quicker in the time I have been waiting :D
