Hello
RSSRaspberry Pi
About £25 of computer.
Over £30 of cables/SD-cards to make it usable.
More if you want an adapter from the proprietary HDMI output to any of the display formats used in a vast majority of screens you will ever encounter.
Currently looking dejectedly at my paper-weight Raspberry Pi.
I keep telling myself to never design circuits with no debug outputs over and over again, and here I am once more staring at a circuit and wondering what’s going on inside it’s silly little silicon head.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE.
One of my aspirations in life is to own a cat, and to name it with the best cat name ever.
The current Top Two cat names I know of:
- Alan
- Meowingtons
I’m not even sure if Alan can be beat.
I mean seriously. Alan. Pahahahahaha.

That awkward moment when it’s a Saturday night and you just turned 21 and you’re sitting on your laptop.
Gentlemen.
I greet you from Arch Linux. It was quite a journey of many leagues, slaying many dragons, but upon this day I declare myself supreme ruler of all I survey.
BURNING ARCH CORE IMAGE TO DISC
NOTHING CAN GO WRONG. THE POWER I WIELD GROWS!
Everything Linux: Recommend linux distros to me!
I want to install Linux on my laptop, and have previously used Ubuntu - I’m not adverse to continuing with Ubuntu but I want to hear opinions on whether that’s a good choice or if there are better alternatives!
If you’re not really comfortable on the command line, I’d go with…
I was planning on trying Arch but their website appears to have vanished from existence. I like the idea of a minimal install, Ubuntu felt like there was some excess, but equally I am not a particularly experienced Linux user… It’s hard to choose because there are so many options! :D
Well, Arch’s website is still there: http://www.archlinux.org/. Lol. But yeah, there’s a lot of different options. I’d looking into http://www.archbang.org, as well as http://www.linuxmint.com, and I’d also take a look at http://www.debian.org. Source based distros, such as http://gentoo.org, are fun (I use Gentoo), but if you’re not comfortable with the command line yet, I wouldn’t suggest it. That would be for later. There are a lot of distros that offer very minimal things, such as http://www.salixos.org. It’s a distro based on Slackware. But there are so many things that you could check out. Check out http://distrowatch.com, you can find a lot of different distros to choose from there.
Wait, the Arch website works for you? If I go to that address I’ve just been failing to connect :S CONSPIRACY!
