Raspberry Pi - cab CPU & game dev platform?
jimmy2x2x:
I am really excited by this kind of prospect, a fixed hardware platform that's cheap, open and hopefully will have an active community.
It harks back to the bedroom programming days for me and hopefully others with see its 'limited' (by todays standards) feature set appealing and it should be very interesting in seeing how others push the hardware in interesting ways.
This kind of platform somehow reminds me of some of my favourites from the past like the c64 or amiga and I hope it has a lively community supporting it.

I was reading about how to apply a boot up splash screen to it at a low level. You can incorporate progress bars, animations, true type fonts etc. Should make for some projects that look professional - not even a bios boot screen to worry about.

Wonder if freenas'd run on it... Although I don't think freenas will handle USB drives yet...

there is no freenas build for the ARM architecture. hell, don't even think there is a BSD port for ARM yet.

I posted before about this but there are three primary Linux distros on the Raspberry Pi right not and one of them is super slick with the other two being blah.
I was one of the first 200k to pre-order so I should be getting mine in this batch but who knows when it will actually arrive. I'm excited to just mess with it period. There's so many cool things I'd like to try with it.
Potentially I could use this to power droves of Arduinos and basically make a PLC for a fraction of the price.
