Re: [Ql-Users] Rasberry Pi arrived
The Debian has it in and I'm fairly certain I didn't switch it on myself. However none of the networking stuff fires up if you don't have a network lead connected as you boot up because I assume DHCP hasn't been able to configure the interface John What distribution are you running - ssh is not enabled by defau7lt on all of them even though the software is installed in the image! The recommended distribution is Debian. If it is the Debian 'squeeze' release then there is a file in the FAT32 partition that needs renaming to get ssh enabled on boot. If it is the Debian 'wheezy' release (http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=50t=8071) which is far better than the 'squeeze' one despite it being labelled beta then ssh should be enabled by default. So far I ahve found the new 'puppy' linux to be the most responsive. That is however labelled as a 'alpha' release although it does look feature complete.

The only problem being that I need someone with knowledge of (single-sided) PCB design, power regulation circuitry and 3D CAD. Oh, and someone with a 3D printer and/or injection moulding facilities if I wanted to try to market the kit.
