rasberry Pi (ARM chip computer)

Hello
i never knew that about atom chips. You always expect intel chips
will just "do everything" and maybe a bit more.
hmmm.
i know that ARM chips are a different kettle of fish again. That thin PC
you showed with a dual core 1 ghz ARM chip will be really fast on Linux.
They showed it running Chrome OS too.
I have not really seen quad core atom styled netbooks, but i imagine
they exist. My friend is sponsored each year and gets a new Alienware
quad core laptop. Those are real expensive but fast.

You see these ARM chip netbooks sold on the web.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/7-0-tft-lcd-android-2-2-via-8650-cpu-wifi-umpc-netbook-black-349-79mhz-2gb-3-usb-sd-lan-70760
they go NEW for as little as 70 dollars (ebay.)
They use the ARM wm8650 chip which is a chip that runs at 350 MHZ.
This same chips is also used in the generic chinese slates you see everywhere.
I have used these slates and they are perfectly fine.
There is also a proper Debian Linux for this ARM chip. There is also a proper Gentoo
Linux for this chip. So you can use Android 2.2 Froyo or Linux or win CE on these
machines.

the extra USB Keyboard/Case is about 10 dollars NEW on ebay. (it plugs in)
(these slates are simply excellent)
These machines use a 350Mhz ARM chip. The Rasberry Pi uses
a 700 mHZ chip so it would seem that it should be ok for Linux.
Here are the free Linux distros for ARM. ("Debian" and "Gentoo" and "EasyPC linux" and "Angstrom linux" and "Android 2.2 Froyo" and "WinCE 6.0")
Gentoo Linux For vt8500 ARM chip and wm8050 and wm8650 ARm chip machines.
http://trac.freya-webtechniek.nl/trac/Linux_VT8500/wiki/WikiStart (Download List)
Android 2.2 Froyo For wm8050 and wm8650 ARM chip machines.
here is android 2.2 work on my 2.2 just format sd card and copy file to root of sd put in the netbook sd slot turn on install and your done this is the only one that has worked for me all others after install gave me black screen

Angstrom Linux For wm8050 and wm8650 ARM chip machines.

I see that these Chromebooks are now on-sale. This idea of 16 gig SSD chip drives
and no moving parts and dual core atom chips (ultra thin laptop) is very nice.
Reasonable price indeed. 349 dollars.

if anybody is interested there was the builds of these operating systems in a download torrent.
Interestingly they have the actual build file .iso of the Angstrom Linux for wm8050 Arm chip devices.
It probably works on wm8650 Arm chip devices also. They also have the very hard to find "Bento Linux .iso" which is a Debian Linux. build for vt8500 Arm chip devices.
https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6019823/7__Mini_Netbook_WM8505_(ce6.0_android__linux)
Angstrom is under Linux and it's called "mini......"
i also have this link which is a full Debian Linux with x11 and fluxbox for wm8050 Arm chip devices.
http://www.daupara.de/wm8505_linux/extpart.tgz
and also a full Android 2.2 Froyo (flash 10.1 support) for wm8050 Arm chip devices
http://projectgus.com/2010/11/froyo-...for-eken-m001/
the torrent also has the free mega-pack of 200 free apps for windows CE. (Lot of free software)
