Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix launches

Seneca works with Raspberry Pi video: http://youtu.be/E-NzMfyYfRU

The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix provides a complete software environment for the Raspberry Pi, a $35 computer system designed to spur interest in computer science, software development, and electronic technology among young people. This software release marks an important milestone in Seneca's Centre for Development of Open Technology's (CDOT) applied research in building open source software for emerging low-energy ARM systems. Seneca students and faculty have collaborated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation - http://www.raspberrypi.org - and the Fedora Project to prepare open source software to run on this device.

I ordered mine today from Farnell (was on the list - could only order 1). Can't wait to try it out! So excited!!

Quite an amazing piece of technology. Hopefully the peripheral devices can be shrunk as well in a reasonable timeframe.

6 negative responses! Maybe they don't understand it?

"Small enough that it fits on a 2GB SD CArd"... You know, there was a time when 2GB was "A Large Hard Disk Drive" ... and it was not even 10 years ago. This thing is as powerful (if not more) than the Sun Workstations of early 90's.

I don't want to look at those guru plugs! I want to look at the actual computer itself!
