rasberry Pi (ARM chip computer)
cast-fish:
Hello
not sure if this is the right Thread.
uh....
They are now making the Rasberry Pi at (4000 computers) per day now. That is a lot of desktop computers per day.....right You can order them in Bulk Packs now.
I am not sure what the raw capabilities are, but i know the Pi can be used to "remote"
into any free cloud computer. Opening up many higher lever possibilities.
in basic Terms , the Pi is just super as a web portal, also using it for multimedia
and also for commonplace computing house-keeping style apps. I think the progress
of the Pi is showing it's success.
thx
V.

ye Markus.......see the following comment.
it is just a style of computing.....large corps could use it....if they were
running say large date centers of thin clients...... " it is usefullness magnified
out of what the basic Local desktop can do.

You see these ARM chip netbooks sold on the web.
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")
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
Debian Linux For wm8050 and wm8650 ARM chip machines.
EasyPClinuxFor Vt8500 ARM chip machines. (Bento Linux)
Hard to find.
------------------------------------------------
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.
