We're working on the Raspberry Pi remix here (it has to be a remix rather than a spin for now). As I've written on the Raspi forums, anyone expecting to use Eclipse on a Pi is probably dreaming -- there's just not enough RAM. The model "B" device has 256M, but the GPU will normally be allocated 64M, leaving 192M for apps. You can boot in as little as 11M, but after X and a DE, it doesn't look like there will be enough RAM to use Eclipse without thrashing. (And frankly, until we get X connected up to the GPU, it will be too painful.) gedit with plugins is probably a more appropriate choice :-) -Chris _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
