Re: Pre-alpha iso
This from Barrys instructions which will decompress and install the image file This image file requires a 4GB SDHC card. Class 6 or higher is recommended. Cheaper cards that may be somewhat less than 4GB, although labeled as 4GB, should also be ok. For the example of the card being /dev/sdb (be very...

Re: Pre-alpha iso
http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb335/cructacean/logo.png :) Thanks Liz. For those of us familiar with Puppy, this is where we really start. Everything else has been foreplay.

Re: USB Hub - "freezing pi"
You really need to be using a powered hub.
I find using two USB ports (usually mouse and USB keydrive) is the limit.
So in effect going above 3 USB ports (by adding an unpowered hub) is not possible. For me the error was keyboard auto repeat.

Re: Web browser too slow?
Chromium browser is faster and more reliable than Midori at the present time (on the Debian build)
On the Arch side Netsurf is faster still. Text browsers are not really feasible for most users . . .

Vala
Vala and Genie are remarkable languages. Vala itself is similar to C# and Genie is similar to Basic or Python. I think of the language as compiled Python . . . Two languages for the price of one. The price = $0 incidentally I would provide links but forum rules are too restrictive - previous posts h...
