will have to be scrapped.
Back in the real world, increasingly it looks like RS and Farnell are attempting to sell vapourware.
Had a message from Farnell yesterday saying that they are assisting with the CE testing and inviting me to place an order.
I got a quick fondle of one today, chap in the office who ordered his on day one, got it delivered this morning ...
Had mine for a couple of weeks now... Intersting little bit of kit! somewhat slower then I expected, but it's getting there. Fully functional as a little Linux box (with the addition of cabling, keyboard, mouse, etc.)

Lucky you. I ordered on day 1 but have been told end of June for delivery :-(
Mine's coming tomorrow.
When did you order yours?
(I think mine was ordered at about 4pm on the 29th of Feb)
0830 on the first morning. There was a lull - I think everyone else was going to work!
Hmm.. I ordered mine around 10am on the first morning. Had an email from Farnell a while ago saying ETA of this week, heard nothing since.
When I saw your post I logged into onecall but can't see my order at all in the order history...
Wonder if my order has somehow vanished? :-/

MIne was actually delayed a few days because the credit card I used to order has since been cancelled (long story). But they phoned me last week for new details.
Have they taken the money already, though?
MM
Not obviously.
Anyway, just gave them a ring and yes the order is still there (they don't know why I can't see it but I don't particularly care about that).
Just need to wait - might be this week \o/

Mine is now here.
You're probably an old-hand at this, but I put some initial setup hints here:

your using the supplied Debian, then note that the password and group files are somewhat "creative" - an a pwck / grpck is suggested...

Thanks...yes, UNIX user since 1975!
Won't be able to do much for a while as I have hundreds of Operating Systems exam scripts to mark...
Throw them down the stairs and assign them marks on the basis of which step they land on.
Cheers Gordon, very useful.
what are you going to do with it ?
Handy set of notes, thanks.
