I have been following the raspberry pi project lately (link below), and i will be buying a couple of them for other projects but i wondered how difficult would it be to use it as an MD. The problem with using it as an MD is the fact that its ARM based, and at that its ARMv6 based so no Ubuntu  But, how difficult would it be getting a MeeGo or Debian MD dunning? A $35 MD is quite intriguing. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ |

We've already had some talk about that thingie in the forum and/or wiki.
Let's see what it does, when it comes out.

In the faq it says that newer versions of ubuntu aren't really supported yet |

thats correct because they don't support the older version of ARM, but if a full MD cant be built i know orbiter can be compiled for arm

Just noticed that they started the production... http://www.raspberrypi.org/Would be nice as an orbiter no? I'm thinking to connect linuxmce with my home theater... Today i'm just using a PS3 to play some movies... |

This has probably been discussed, but just to open up a thought; does the architecture of MCE lend itself to distributed computing over a gigabit network? Ideally these would sit behind every monitor and stay on since they use very little power. Perhaps one could serve as the "core" that would direct all processing traffic among the nodes so you would have a robust, low power consumption system.

You do understand that LinuxMCE is built atop a messaging bus, right?

yep they are finally in production, and yes it looks like the only thing that they could run it Qorbiter, if it were build for ARM. I hope to look into building an ARM MD, but we will see.

Sorry, I'm an ME so I'm not versed on messaging bus architecture vs another type that would allow it, just thinking out loud....

I am trying to say that WE ARE a distributed computing platform.
