Sam Nazarko is building a stand-alone version of xbmc that will run on this, much like crystlbuntu for the first gen appletv.

So...update.

So far, this little thing is pretty good for what it cost. Really easy to get up and running. I haven't had much time to really dig in, but I have it so it will auto log into it, and I can remote desktop into it via my Windows 7 computer (although once I reboot the Pi I need to physically log into it again). I've added an external HD. And have SSH so it will start automatically.

Trying to figure out how to get the Remote Desktop server to be active on the Pi on re-boot. After that I can really start to dig in.

I am using Putty on my WIN 7 machine for most of the installs. That is WAY faster than using the GUI on the Pi.

Downsides:

Seems to reboot on occasion randomly. Obviously with the Remote Desktop issue this is sort of a PITA, but I have it hooked up on an alternate input to my desktop monitor, so not a huge problem for now.

SLOW. I would not recommend this to be used by ANYONE trying to surf the internet. It does work, but it's painfully slow to load pages.

I'm reading that people are having big issues using it as a torrent box (my main objective). I haven't been able to compile all of the required software so far, so I can't say for sure. Due to this, I may give up on the torrent box idea and just use it as a media server for my home stereo.


Happy I bought it. It's been a good learning experience. I think it will become more fun once more advanced users find some other uses for it and make some tutorials.

Anyway...not a lot to say, but figured I'd update ya'll on my progress with this little thing.

Anyone interested in one?  Mine shipped today and I've determined it will just sit on a shelf unused at my house.  Figured I'd off it here before going to ebay.  My out of pocket is $42.19.  I'll ship it to you as soon as I receive it.

ETA: no longer available.

damn, I'm seriously tempted. If nobody picks it up before Sunday let me know. The nerd-factor makes me want it.

Old news now but new debian released: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
Next month I get to try the pi out on a plasma TV and I'm very anxious to try out with http://www.raspbmc.com/

I continue to be amazed by the pi and what people are doing with it. To learn more about it, read these
http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Hub
http://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/

Did you buy vanark's pi, Page?

I just did that an I am actually not impressed at all. While most content plays just fine, some is shaky or doesn't play at all. Also, the PI is quite slow at indexing content via my NFS share.

Is it slow over wifi and/or ethernet? if you don't want it, post it for sale.

Ethernet. It doesn't have anything to do with the network speed.

And I'm not gonna sell it as I still have other plans for it.

Currently running xbian on the plasma TV and I'll soon try out raspbmc, but I've been able to stream gigs of ISOs of actual DVDs (with mpeg license) and flac files both wireless nfs share with very little issue.

I have another pi running freepbx with several trunks, in/out dialplans without any real issues as well.

This Raspberry Pi sorta reminds me of the old Timex Sinclair computer concept.

So I'd be interested in knowing if the can the thing be used to live stream audio to ustream or the like, anyone know or tried?

My understanding is that ustream (and probably most steam-like sites) use adobe flash media encorder to stream from your location to the other endpoint. Unfortunately Adobe does not have any client other than mac and PC and if the sites don't require FME, it would very likely require flash and the pi can't run flash.

I'm fairly positive there is a use for the pi in our world but I have yet to discover what it can be. Most wifi dongles are now supported so that's not much of an issue anymore, fortunately.
