The Raspberry Pi is already considered a hacker's paradise. However, that assumes that owners have all the software they need to start in the first place. Adafruit wants to give the process a little nudge through its Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro. The software includes a customized distribution of Raspbian,

Introducing the Adafruit Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_PiIntroducing the Adafruit Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro Our tweaked distribution for teaching electronics using the Raspberry PI. Adafruit loves the new Raspberry Pi especially how easy it is to hack circuits using the electronics breakout pins! But sadly, the latest official distro July 15 Raspbian Wheezy did not have many of the delicious hackables built in. Thats why we decided to roll our own distribution. Our distro is based on Wheezy but comes with hardware SPI, I2C, one wire, and WiFi support for our wifi adapters. It also has some things to make overall hacking easier such sshd on startup (with key generation on first boot) and Bonjour (so you can simply ssh raspberrypi.local from any computer on the local network). This is our first distro, Occidentalis v0.1. Rubus occidentalis is the black raspberry. It is derived from Raspbian Wheezy July 15. We have made a few key changes to make it more hardware-hacker friendly!
Please keep in mind, we are not full time linux distro maintainers we will try to fix any bugs we find but this distro is not for beginners or people who are new to linux! |

Thanks! I ordered my RP a couple of weeks ago from Allied. Supposedly they had been shipping.
Patrck Norton (Tekzilla) has been playing with his for a couple of weeks and seems very excited. I’m thinking of grabbing a couple more so that my youngest son can experiment and we have another for backup.
Can’t wait to play!

Announcing the Raspberry Pi starter pack! #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Looking thru comments at article website....someone says this site is anordering site for hardware:Expect a wait time.
I ordered mine from Newark. Took a couple of weeks to arrive.
Tantalizing. I am still waiting to get my hands on a Pi. Newark/Farnell is out of them.
Whatever happened to those crazies trying to keep the Commodore 64 alive?
