I keep trying to check that last assertion- but when I go to the FAQ page over on RPi, the page never fully loads.

Can someone share the distributor links here?

EDIT: finally got them to come up:

Still salivating over getting my mitts on one of these. The local distrib is expecting a second shipment "any day now". Wish they'd let me buy a place in line, not just register interest..

I've got a delivery date of the week beginning the 21st of this month. Which coincidentally the week I am going away for a few days :(

Fortunately there will be someone there to take delivery though :D

Gunna be ordering one over the next few months when the eagerness dies down. :)

I forgot about this thread. Been playing with my pi for a week. It is a very capable little device. My friend has his set up with xbmc and he says it works really well

I am curious if you guys that have these in-hand think they can be used with a small webcam and network connection to stand up some web-based surveillance? Ideally I'd want to have the take uploaded directly to my Amazon Cloud Drive.

I don't see why not but you should get a powered usb hub though. I've not got one and it causes the keyboard and/or mouse to crap out when running raspbian. Known issue apparently.
However if you get a usb hub that is powered you can run the pi from the hub and use the hub as a hub to give you powered ports :-)

I've spent a little time learning Debian since I have never used it before (I'm a Gentoo guy). I got as far as moving DHCP for my home LAN over to it. I've installed BIND on it, but I haven't configured it yet. I was going to put FreeRADIUS on it too but since I'm moving my lab to my office I don't know if I really need a RADIUS server at home... Other than that I haven't really done much with it.

I think I'm going to get another one for my lab for DHCP/DNS/RADIUS etc.

Are you running off an SD card only? Any optimisations in use for the flash as opposed to a disk? (like turning off file access times etc)

I bought a case, installing the raspberry version of debian and will attach to the network at home eventually. Then playtime :)

Yeh, SD only. I have an external USB drive that I plan to hook up to it at some point for extra space. I put a 16GB card in there now so I have plenty of space at the moment.

I'm just running the standard RaspPi Debian image... I'm not sure if "they" optimized it for SD or not. I haven't changed it at all. There's a new one just out called Raspbian that's a lot more optimized for the RaspPi hardware http://www.raspbian.org/ and it looks like it's been made the "offical" image now on the DL page http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Yeah I'm downloading Raspbian. We'll see how it goes :)
