I never really understood how there could be things that would
drive you insane just because you knew them until I ran into Windows.

The useful thing is that it all works with the Pi. When I got mine from
Farnell about 6 months ago the keyboard and the SD card that I had on
the shelf didn't work and whilst looking for approved hardware found the
Pi Hut. It is probably less of an issue now.

Thanks for the web site Roger. It looks a useful place to buy bits.

It appears to be a small startup but they have a wide range of
accessories and do bundles. The only potential problem is that they are
not VAT registered so you cant claim VAT if you are registered yourself.

I found "2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img" had 512 RAM available

I disagree it is perfect as a media player, I have one (model B rev 1 with
only 256MB of memory) runn
I got mine from CPC Farnell for £35 including transparent case (which is
awesome) and delivery.
A few points:
- only booted once on desktop, then used ssh and vnc only
- used a cheap class 10 SDCard from a photo camera
- Raspbian is very easy to use and update, just like a normal Debian but

A loaded Raspberry Pi model B sucks down about 700-750mA, or more if you've
hooked up particularly current-hungry USB devices to it. The USB specification
states that USB devices should demand no more than 500mA, and many computer
sockets/hubs will automatically disconnect devices that suck down

I've got mine from Farnell (2 off) and RS - Farnell were faster, but the
RS one was ordered in the initial rush for them, so took forever - they
are quicker now.

Hi,
Having actually seen and photographed a Raspberry Pi I think I'm sold on the
idea of them. I currently have an Ethernet switch under the TV, spare power
and a CRT (composite TV input) though I do plan to replace it with a flat TV
of some sorts eventually (HDMI input).
It seems to make sens
