Raspberry Pi desktop
We got a Raspberry Pi in the office today, and hooked it up to a keyboard and monitor.
Raspberry Pi board, roughly Arduino size
In case you haven’t heard of it, Raspberry Pi runs Linux on an ARM processor and has a target price of $25/£15 for a pre-configured system.
Works a treat!
Just want to get Chrome on it now :^).
Which distribution is running on it, Fedora ARM?
@Mace Moneta – Debian, but see the FAQs for information about distros.
Did you manage to get Chrome running? How well does it run?
Not yet, sadly. Too busy on other projects.
How well does it run the OS? I’m tempted to get one when they become available publicly
Apologies for the delay in responding. Raspberry Pi seems to run well. Some guys from BBC R&D just got XBMC running on it: http://t.co/UuCd0rWp.
Working Chrome on RasPI: http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117859
Cannot get HTML5 though… (Youtube refuses to play any videos)
This might be a solution: http://www.raspbmc.com/about/
Cheers!
Yeah! This is great news.
