This is the UK situation with one of the suppliersDear Customer
Thank you for joining the Raspberry Pi revolution and registering your interest in Raspberry Pi’s Model B board from RS Components.
We have received extraordinary levels of demand for this product. To help ensure as many people as possible can experience the Raspberry Pi concept, we are limiting boards to one per customer, and we will send you further information on your request in the next seven days. Once we receive the boards into stock, they will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis, in order of when requests were received.
Thank you for your patience; we will be in touch as soon as possible with more details.

You are not alone.
And the PH page of Farnell requires trade account, so the order page stays frozen.Regarding the Raspberry Pi, we will be in touch with you as soon as the product becomes available

Only a geek would appreciate it - and I did
That was cool. Very clever. Now we know where "The Matrix" got the inspiration.

GuysI will not be allowed to pre-order for up to 7 days?
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

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?

Pi and PiHere's the first design of a case for Raspberry 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/genera ... spberry-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 . . .

Sounds like Fedora remix might be slow on the Raspberry Pi
From what I have read in the online forums, it appears the Fedora remix distribution recommended for the Raspberry Pi is sluggish. Hopefully Puppy Linux will be MUCH better for this hardware platform?

great stuff, mine will probably arrive backend of summer
puppy is well suited to slower hardware. lots of experience of slim software in the kennels How the transition to arm goes is another matter.
the plan is to trim debian, although there is an arm version of slackware - not sure if its compiled for ARMv6 architecture that RPi runs on

Raspberry Pi
There's a lot of buzz around the Raspberry Pi at the moment, and I'm pleased to confirm two things:
Slackware ARM's packages (from 13.37 and -current) will run on the Raspberry Pi as is
Slackware ARM will provide a ready-to-run Kernel for the Raspberry Pi once a Pi is physically available to us (a couple of others in the Slackware core team are ordering one and I might get one too). Currently for those of your who have a Pi in your hands, you'll need to compile your own Kernel. I'll look into whether the Pi can be installed using the regular Slackware installer once the Kernels are prepared.
This will be the most "hardcore" Linux thing I have ever done, dont get me wrong been dabling for quite a while and due to dam HD failure Slacko is my day to day OS until I get home and get it sorted (Slacko, 3G MiFi and any piece of junk I can stick my USB drive into ha ha)
Now in X86 world you would boot up via CD/DVD drive using you fav iso and install to hd / usb etc but I believe in Pi land you cant do that and can only boot of the SD slot, is that correct?
If so ... how do you get to build the SD image?
Head hurts and don't even have a Pi in my hands yet!
