[00:23] <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
[13:24] <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.
[13:25] <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.
[13:43] <andygraybeal_> that soudns pretty cool
[13:43] <andygraybeal_> i want this too :)
[14:00] <canthus13> It gives me an excuse to buy a new TV. :D
[14:08] <dzho> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/952563 <- paultag, thought you might enjoy this
[14:09] <canthus13> dzho: is it The Game? paultag love that.
[14:10] <andygraybeal_> yay, new tv.
[14:11] <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?
[14:13] <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
[14:14] <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?
[14:15] <dzho> probably?
[14:15] <andygraybeal_> yea, interesting
[14:15] <dzho> with video out and USB host mode, yeah, sure, why not
[14:16] <andygraybeal_> wow, lego case.
[14:18] <andygraybeal_> where are you guys buying it form?
[14:18] <andygraybeal_> *from
[14:19] <dzho> a friend is looking to get one at allied micro.  another, from element14.
[14:19] <dzho> the problem is restricted supply.
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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.
[14:24] <canthus13> :would imagine android can run on raspberry pi with relative ease...
[15:09] <toddc> I use  a usb hub with mine so that I can plug in kib mouse and wifi
[15:10] <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
[15:12] <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
[15:17] <canthus13> RAM would be the issue there, eh?
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <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
