Think you revel too much of yourself tiger! You're admitting to experiencing a misspent childhood. Instead of going out and playing with other boys and girls. You berried yourself in geeky things -like I did – many decades ago (this did have its compensations though; because if a girl called at the door, dad invite them in to play with my pong – but that's another story).

However, I'am glad that your following JC's edict to 'be like little children' and feverishly covet the arrival of raspberry pi.

The big dilemma is which OS to put on them. I have three 8GB SD cards ready and waiting....

This is the most important part...
Arther C. Clark was a geek and hit this nail on the head at the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) which applies to all of us: (Dave):”and he was not quite sure what to do next. But he would think of something.

I had sometime this morning to look at some Steve Jobs interviews on Youtube and saw a change in his view point over time... He had a good gut feeling that he learnt to trust in – I don't think thinking person could deny that. Then something happened.

Psychiatric aspects of liver disease.

Tim must know, as here was there at the time - and now has to sort this out as best he can.

Raspbian “wheezy” rocks!
Authored by: Ian Al on Friday, November 23 2012 @ 02:33 AM EST
It's an up-to-date Debian. You need to use one of the official Raspberry Pi
distributions because of all the Raspberry Pi support and optimisations for the
Broadcom SoC.

If you want to roll your own, then you need to boot the kernel image from an
MSDOS VFAT partition (/boot) and then mount the rest of the Linux volumes from a
proper Linux EXT3/4 partition. It is not the same as just popping in an ARM
based Ubuntu CD. You could try making an ARM Puppy SD with an emulated bootable
VFAT floppy /boot partition and mounting the rest from partition two. However, I
don't know how you get over the need for the rpi kernel. It's not a trivial task
and it is not worth it when you see Raspbian Wheezy.

There is an Arch Linux version, but the Wheezy one comes with turbo boost, a
working xwindow environment and lots of games... lots of programming
environments including Python access to the GPIO interface. And pygame. And
Scratch. And Idle/Idle3, and gcc.

Don't forget to point your happy Pi recipients at the free eMagazine, MagPi. You
could add the pdfs to the /home/pi/Documents folder.
