The Official RaspberryPi Thread

[BrokenRSA]

I'm currently also only running it in G mode due to similar issues, but I'm going to see if I can do something about that over the weekend.

Woop woop.. Just got my tracking number for my PI.

Chromium for Raspberry Pi BETA

I’m happy to announce that Chromium binaries are now available for you to download and try out. These will ONLY work on Raspbian images, if you’re running Squeeze or anything that isn’t hardfp, don’t even think about it.

Whilst it’s not required, using the 224MB memory split, overclocking your Pi and using a fast USB stick or SD card for your root filesystem will improve your browsing experience. I’ve had the RaspberryPi.org blog frontpage load in as little as 5 seconds by combining all three of these. With that said, let’s get started.

If you’re closer to Europe than the US, type this into a shell: bash <(curl -sL http://goo.gl/5vuJI)
If you’re closer to the US than Europe, type this into a shell: bash <(curl -sL http://goo.gl/go5yx)

Let that command run for a while. It’ll download about 35MB and probably take a while to do it’s thing. Once it’s finished, you can launch Chromium by typing:

chrome –disable-ipv6

Make sure you specify the –disable-ipv6 flag, else your pages will take longer to load than they should (yes, this is probably a bug). This is somewhat of an experiment as the post title suggests, and your input in improving the experience is welcomed. Currently, builds are manual, but if they prove popular and useful, I’ll automate them and produce nightly builds.

Cool, I hope it's faster than the default browser... geez it's painful and an resource hog.

Mine has arrived and cleared in Jhb - very excited. So, it is time to subscribe to this thread. Now, about cases. I really like the DiscPi - did it require drilling the Pi, Fudz?

I can see myself printing out that Punnet template and going around kitchen shops comparing tupperware boxes. However, a few of the lego ones I have seen are really cool. Also, the model ship and model star wars ones are cool. But I'll be damned if I have that much dexterity.

No. It said 5 weeks until dispatch. You will likely get your dispatch email on the 25th

When the time comes and you get your tracking number then it's fast. I got my tracking number on Friday, when it was packed, tracked the parcel through the weekend and got my parcel at 8:30 today.
