ooooooooooh!

Tux, the Linux penguin
I woke up in pain this morning and it went away until I got to the office. It has, however, been there on and off most of the day so far (13.40 now) and doesn't have any signs of going away as yet. It's no worse than any other day but has now gone on longer than previously.
On a lighter note, I have been testing the Pi over the past couple of days and have begun to find out about it's strengths and weaknesses. The graphics and resolution are as amazing as expected and the general speed of the OS is not as slow as I anticipated although it's still a lot slower than I am used to. The Debian squeeze OS is pretty good, it does all it should do and, for most users should be a very good introduction to computing. There is the usual Linux issue of installing new software to get over but that should ease with greater use and more users. On balance, it's worth the few niggles I may have to get a computer of this quality, size and price in one package. I have tried the special media version being built but I appear to be one of the many that it will not run for so tonight, I will be trying the Debian-XBMC version in order to check it out. I assume that it will run ok and will be useful to me in my further investigations.
