<t>andre : If someone walked into a social club I was a member of and had frequented for years, claiming our entire organisation was fundamentally flawed, I would buy him a drink and explain how I sometimes have simular thoughts, to get a discussion going. I also would assume he had done a lot of re...

<t>frying_fish :<br/> <br/> I suppose this will be necessarily a long term on going investigation. My pessimism about the subject is hopefully unwarrented, however hoping for the best whilst planning for the worst may be a safe approach to the task. I would be really happy though if it was such that...

<t>frying_fish:<br/> <br/> Im really thankful for your 2p on this, and I totally agree with you [almost], a highly integrated and streamlined [for RPi] linux distribution as you so excellently describe is definately something Im very interested in. Some [most] netbook linux distribution are really a...

<t>hvc123 : lololol, how did you know Im the point and click king ? you know me ?<br/> <br/> anyway if you know me you must know that didnt work out as planned, so im thinking going back to what we know works… aka a spectrum like interface…<br/> <br/> in the future maybe I get my "kingdom" back up, ...

n31| : yeah but its the same thing. Also im thinking the maths tests are getting harder

I think a lot of the problem with this thread, is a lot of the posters arent among the golden generation, and dont have the confidence or self proved programming abilities we were lucky enough to get....

Those that are have high hopes for the RasPi

<t>JamesH : I dont like your attitude, trolling and calling me a liar, please ban yourself and do the community a favour…<br/> <br/> …….<br/> <br/> A couple of people have made the point of hiding the underlying linux OS, and I agree initially as an ad hoc solution this will give our children someth...

<t>toxibunny : Thanks <br/> <br/> unfortunately Im not sure when I will be able to order a RasPi yet, I registered my interest with RS a few weeks back now [due to some confusion]. Its likely that someone or some other group may have created such a system for the device before mine turns up, and if ...

<t>jbeale : yes I believe a big part of the situation is to provide a simple interface as you said.<br/> <br/> However, I think we would need to provide the interfaces to the more advanced features of the RasPi from within that simpler looking interface otherwise I fear that users will get the impre...

<t>Well it does not matter to me, that people have little respect for others trying to help people, and continue to pollute this thread. Because I was lucky enough to be at the right time and the right place in the golden age of computing, and so I am confident and able to do on my own what I imagin...

<t>I find it amazing that not one single replier has understood the nature of my argument here.<br/> <br/> Does no one else even understand why the raspberry pi has been created ? Although I could write an essay on the situation, I feel the information is already available for you all to research yo...

<t>the success of the original home computers were largely based on their simplicity, I'm 34 years old, the spectrum zx80 was my first home computer that I taught myself to program on when I was 12 years old...<br/> <br/> with the decision for the official raspberrypi OS to be linux, I believe the r...
