| toddc | thafreak: I ordered 2 the first night 1 from RS 1 from Farnell Export and RS showed up first but defective Farnell was 2 weeks later but works great | 00:23 |

| andygraybeal_ | what are you guys doing with raspberry pis? i imagine it's like an arduino? is it different? | 13:24 |
| canthus13 | arduino is incredibly underpowered but easy to program. raspberry pi is closer to a low-end android phone. | 13:24 |
| andygraybeal_ | aah okay | 13:25 |
| andygraybeal_ | very cool | 13:25 |
| * canthus13 is gonna use his as a media server/xbmc. | 13:25 | |
| andygraybeal_ | canthus13, awesome! | 13:25 |
| andygraybeal_ | i want i want :) | 13:25 |
| canthus13 | I may just put xbmc on it and keep the server in the basement somewhere. | 13:25 |
| andygraybeal_ | that soudns pretty cool | 13:43 |
| andygraybeal_ | i want this too :) | 13:43 |
| canthus13 | It gives me an excuse to buy a new TV. :D | 14:00 |
| dzho | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/952563 <- paultag, thought you might enjoy this | 14:08 |
| canthus13 | dzho: is it The Game? paultag love that. | 14:09 |
| andygraybeal_ | yay, new tv. | 14:10 |
| andygraybeal_ | is it just a circuit board that you have to build a case for? | 14:11 |
| andygraybeal_ | or do they have cases i can get for it? | 14:11 |
| dzho | it's just the board | 14:13 |
| dzho | someone might have cases | 14:13 |
| dzho | someone at #interlock was talking about printing one up on the 3D printer | 14:13 |
| andygraybeal_ | *mod my pi :) | 14:13 |
| andygraybeal_ | ah nice | 14:13 |
| dzho | it's a similar form-factor to the arduino, but what canthus says about the relative capabilities | 14:14 |
| dzho | now I have to figure out how to use lxde | 14:14 |
| andygraybeal_ | so.. this thing can run as a terminal client? | 14:14 |
| dzho | probably? | 14:15 |
| andygraybeal_ | yea, interesting | 14:15 |
| dzho | with video out and USB host mode, yeah, sure, why not | 14:15 |
| andygraybeal_ | wow, lego case. | 14:16 |
| andygraybeal_ | where are you guys buying it form? | 14:18 |
| andygraybeal_ | *from | 14:18 |
| dzho | a friend is looking to get one at allied micro. another, from element14. | 14:19 |
| dzho | the problem is restricted supply. | 14:19 |
| andygraybeal_ | would you guys run a usb hub off of a server.. to give it more USB ports to use as passthrough with virtual machines? | 14:22 |
| andygraybeal_ | i'm using libvirt/kvm | 14:22 |
| andygraybeal_ | and i have it working great, with passthrough with the systems usb ports... but i need atleast 7 printers hooked up to this thing. | 14:23 |
| andygraybeal_ | and for reasons due to old technology (ESC/POS) they have to be serial printers.. so i can hhook them up to USB port via USB to Serial dongle. | 14:23 |
| canthus13 | :would imagine android can run on raspberry pi with relative ease... | 14:24 |
| toddc | I use a usb hub with mine so that I can plug in kib mouse and wifi | 15:09 |
| toddc | I think the bid problem with android is Raspberry uses a three part boot loader since the bios is on the sd card | 15:10 |
| toddc | big | 15:10 |
| toddc | I did over clock mine a bit and I can now use it as a desktop if I do not open more that two programs at a time | 15:12 |
| canthus13 | RAM would be the issue there, eh? | 15:17 |
| toddc | 256meg is a bit light | 15:18 |
| canthus13 | 800mhz should run LXDE or Enlightenment just fine. | 15:18 |
| canthus13 | I ran E on a 233mmx with few problems. | 15:18 |
| toddc | I am running at 900 LXDE | 15:18 |
| canthus13 | Wow. | 15:19 |
| canthus13 | Openbox might be better, though. | 15:19 |
| * canthus13 has used crunchbang on 256MB ram. | 15:19 | |
| canthus13 | Not too bad, but yeah.. open a modern browser and you're swapping like mad. | 15:19 |
| toddc | there is a puppy version in the works and I am a puppy fan | 15:19 |
