Only a geek would appreciate it - and I did |

That was cool. Very clever. Now we know where "The Matrix" got the inspiration.

Guys
finally managed to order an ARM
- that is some hardware promise at last
Tommorrow will get an HDMI cable,
some raspberries - my new fruit favourite
and will put Debian on an SD card (to start the bootstrap process)
Do we have a Pussy ISO or other Puppy like start point
created in a virtual ARM?
Otherwise I will have to create my own (not a pretty sight)
as I flap about like a fish out of water . . .
Our Puppy Hacker school is now ahead of the old grammarrains
and I have added us as a major distribution for Rpi - well we are in the future
http://elinux.org/Rpi_Education
OK it has taken me 4 days just to order
- but hopefully I will eventually have two boards - at least.
I am also wondering if a wireless keyboard and mouse is a good idea?
Puppy Linux
The root of Fruit

only trouble is performance is hard to measure between different architectures. one may be good at one, the other at another. |
I'm guessing that the Pi will be approximately 3.1415926535 times as efficient.

Pi and Pi
as I and I, Lobster Dreadlock and the RaspaFarrians say
People are selling old cigarette packets on ebay as biodegradable cases.
Others are making cases out of lego or fruit pastille tins.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/cases-for-the-raspberry-pi
Rpi foundation will be offering a clear plastic case once in schools
and if they have any sense (and they do) will offer a range of fruity tints (OK maybe just raspberry clear to start with) . . .
I prefer an origami type case, which we can print on card and then lacquer
if requiring any stiffness. Now there is an enterprise for an intrepid Puppy Raspberrian . . .

Stay Frisky
Stay Fruity
