Frambozenbier has a RasPi from the very first batch to land in the uk
Liam Fraser, one of the site admins here at Frambozenbier received his RasPi yesterday.
He is busy compling Quake on it at present for his tutorial chanel on YouTube, but as soon as it cools down we will be posting more articles and photos of it.
And for those of you interested in ArchLinux, that's what he has decided to run on it first, so hopefully some new Arch content on the way too.
Liam has been busy all day filming videos and taking photos of his RasPi and you will see them here first.
Hands up anyone who would like to use the RasPi as an embedded VDI device?
As soon as devices have started shipping in quantity we are going to develop our own RPI-VDI distribution, and we are looking for like minded coders to help us stick the RasPi into keyboards and monitors as a self contained VDI solution.
We will be starting small and using an existing distro-on-a-diet to prove basic functionality such as RDP, then moving on a to minimal linux-from-scratch version once accelerated drivers become available. If you would like to help please contact turbo @ frambozenbier.org for more info.

Over the next few years, Eben, having left the university for industry, worked on building prototypes of what has now become the Raspberry Pi in his spare time.
