<r>I am pretty sure if you are a developer and you ask the foundation nicely, you can get your hands on a Raspberry Pi early, Hexxeh did this a few weeks ago and got his Pi within a few weeks of asking (bearing in mind he asked a few months ago now).<br/> <br/> See this thread, scroll down to Hexxeh...

<t>So the 700ma requirement is slightly inadequate, given any USB device will likely draw more power than could be supplied? I know we are supposed to use powered hubs for power hungry devices, but surely using a 700ma supply will leave the Pi out of pocket power wise regardless of what USB device i...

<t>jbeale said: <br/> <br/> <br/> If you're worried about current draw requirements, I'd recommend a 1A rated charger. That is sure to be enough, and I see them on Amazon for about US$7.  It's only a few dollars more than the 700 mA rated ones.  search for "micro USB charger 1A"<br/> <br/> By the wa...

<t>So we have a 1gb partition for the linux install, which is all the files that the Debian/Fedore/Linux deployment needs to function, then we also have a swap partition which is essentially your page file space (any reccomendations on size of this or does it size itself to a default size?).<br/> <b...

<t>I am asking these questions just to determine if getting a power supply with more than 700ma would be reasonable, the 700ma official requirement left it somewhat ambiguous as to where exactly the amps would be going.<br/> <br/> So we can assume 700ma basic for the Pi running full whack with two b...

<t>As much as we have been instructed on the the power requirements being 5v 700ma, I am curious as to exactly what context this power requirement is taken.<br/> <br/> Is this the maximum power the Pi will draw assuming USB ports drawing full power, ethernet being used, and the RPI operating at 100%...

So 700ma is the absolute maximum the Pi will draw with ethernet connected, and 2 USB devices drawing full power, and the Pi itself drawing the maximum amount of power it can?

<t>Evening all,<br/> <br/> When formatting and mapping the linux OS image to the SD card, the SD card gets partitioned. What partitions are there and what do they do contain? If I were to use a 32gb SD card for example, how would it be split up with regard to where the OS goes, where data/programs c...
