Yes but there's not much you can do with it currently. Just for an example, I found no way to use the GPU and the ALSA driver arrived 3 day ago. This thing have a great potential but currently you can do less than on any old computer.
Well, you can treat it as a server .... try nginx, php, mysql, i dont know, rtorrent, and that
Ya what about PHP? Is it supported under ARM?
Almost everything that you have source for you can compile yourself and so it should be supported.
I have php in my ipod xD
Iirc I once compiled PHP with FPM on s390, on the error log I found something like "This processor / architecture is not supported..bla..bla.. Please submit to..bla..bla.."
EDIT:
processor. please write a patch and send it to me

Haha funny :-|
IS FUNNY ¬_¬
I mean, you can use PHP in ARM, because the ipod has an ARM, and I have it
Ahhh it must be iPod touch!
I was thinking about iPod Nano ¬_¬
Yes that one lol.
Btw, is a 5.2 one u_u (And with lighty)
But anyway, I almost don't use it.
There's a ton of packet already available on the ARM repository. You can search, there's a good chance that you don't even need to compile it:
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze&arch=armel&searchon=names&keywords=php5
No fpm?
What do you guys plan on using your Rasberry Pi for? Just to play around with it or what?
I have so much idea but for now my first plan is to play Quake 3 on it.... or maybe installing XBMC. Currently I do some testing, I try some distribution, I installed different packet to try....
I found this on the PHP-FPM website.
The packet on Debian is 5.3.3-7, I suppose it's included. If you provides me an easy way to configure it and test it, I will gladly do it.
I think it is if you are compiling the PHP, not using the APT.
yes, and make an arcade
btw, mine has changed from BACKORDER to PROCESSING
=D
@Daniel any luck with yours?
*sigh..
Haven't got any on order, but I intend to grab two or three once they're more widely available. The troubles you guys are having doesn't bother me much; I'd like to use them for embedded projects where their form factor is as much a boon as the low price tag. Ideas include a black-box Shoutcast client and various field applications in paintball.
Auto-tracking machine gun utilizing infrared to determine the location of enemies?
+1. Me too. Y'all whinging over ethernet-over-USB? Try ethernet over SPI, I2C or hell, RS-232!!
Ha, that'd be nice, but not quite. A friend and I are slowly collecting concepts of how modern tech can unobtrusively improve paintball; we're currently trying to figure out how hit tracking can best work based on manual player feedback (wireless lapel buttons or similar). The Raspberry Pi sounds like a good candidate for stat tracking and such in that it's probable someone will come up with a battery system for it at some point. We may end up using an old laptop, though, due to the screen.
I can't wait for someone to put together a proper RS-232 breakout board. I think the dev kit has an interface, but if I end up deploying something using RS-232 on the Pi, I don't want to have to get a whole dev board for each unit (costly and space-consuming).
Sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads?
@netomx My one changed to being delivered 5/5/2012
What kind of "breakout board" do you need -- or rather, what do you want to interface it with? It appears the pins are fully brought out on the GPIO header, so all you'd need is a physical connector plus a level shifter to handle the 3.3V@rPi <--> 12V@COMx...?
@MrDOS what about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS232-Serial-COM-To-TTL-Converter-Module-MAX3232-MAX232-/260923041096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc039a548#ht_1628wt_919
@rds100: I don't recommend that one or any other which doesn't explicitly say 3.3V (rPi I/O); TTL is 5V and the very common MAX232 usually does 5V too. It may be a risk since those pins come straight from the SOC
Try this instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS232-Serial-Port-To-TTL-Converter-Module-SP3232EEN-5V-3-3V-W-Jump-Cables-/270913042764
Or even this one which goes straight to USB for $2.50 or so:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-To-RS232-TTL-PL2303HX-Auto-Converter-Module-Converter-Adapter-5V-3-3V-Output-/170798767126
@quirkyquark well it says MAX3232, which is the chip for 3V.
But as always, do you research before purchasing.
@rds100: Sorry, I see now that it does say 3232 in the fine print, but the description is otherwise almost blank
Fantastic! I didn't realize the pins were brought right out on the Pi. That makes life easier for sure.
That's the "mini-UART", 8N1@115200 baud default. The full-UART (hw flow control, framing, etc.) is also brought out elsewhere on the header I believe.
