I just love being cheap :-)

Thanks! I and a few other FReepers will love this!

I’ve been following the progress with the Raspberry Pi project for some time now. A wonderful idea. Looks like the perfect web browser - media server solution.

Question: is there any progress on the packaging front? When will I be able to buy a full packaged RP?

You might want to get your money back. Every time I click on your post I get a “Service Temporarily Unavailable” message.

Got a link to a specs page?

I got distracted by the Barbara Eden videos you posted.

It was just a question of time before Linux supported:

Don't forget to initialize the registers...

[VeniVidiVici]

Watching your youtube video I believe something is wrong with it. I don’t see a 503 error displayed.

[null and void]

Great. Now we know who is causing all the 503s today.

Got a question for you since you like puzzles. My Toshiba laptop developed a crack in the plug where the hard drive plugs into the motherboard. I cannot get the plug up to make consistent contact now so the laptop is useless ... unless there is a way to replace the slot in the motherboard where the hard drive slips in. Any ideas, or do I have to find a new motherboard which will work with the hard drive and figure out how to disassemble the whole laptop without destroying the grounding, etc?

35 bucks? Sweet. Now for 700 bucks you can buy 20 of them and make your own "cloud" :)

my husband and son built a linux computer as well I used it for a very long time. dirt cheap too.

[RobertClark]

Very nice. I am a huge Linux fan and have been following, with curiosity, the RP. Thanks for posting!

[martin_fierro]

Nice!

Although I’ve been lured in by the appeal of crazy-inexpensive tech before, usually I end up being frustrated when I start bumping up against the upper limits of the tech’s capabilities.

[bd476]

Inexpensive computer + VELCRO + 45 second video of Bobalu's accomplishment = FReeping on the cheap!

Way to go, Bobalu!

Bumping this one all the way to the top!

Congrats on the Pi. I will have to get one to play with. I’ve written code under Linux on my TomTom GPS, and I bet the Pi is similar (both ARM).

Just installed avrdude and wrote some C code and programmed a uC from the Pi...very cool! Used a 3 dollar Chinese USBasp dongle.

sudo apt-get install avrdude

[GeronL]

OK, that was cool!
