Thanks, that was my next question! And where did you buy it?
How much can you implement (and how) under ROS? Write in C?
How much do you have implemented, what kind of functions? I've found some of the Wiki data, But I'm really looking for a simple implementation to study first.

I tried using 12.04 with Fuerte, but had problems. So I went back to 11.10
and Electric.

Ditto. I wasted an entire day "upgrading" to 12.04LTS only to go back to 11.10. And most of the trouble was not even ROS-related. This was just my experience--perhaps others are having better luck.

Most if not all ROS base packages and stacks are ready for 12.04 in
my experience. Upgrading can be a pain in the ass and require uninstalling
ROS and reinstalling it. If you are planning on using it on a turtlebot you
will currently need to pull from source the turtlebot changes as of the
last time I checked the changes have not pushed all the way up. I have a
normal Turtlebot running 12.04 and fuerte and a roomba 510 conversion all
the changes i needed to make it happen are pushed to source I think, If not
its most definitely posted in the bug patches I posted. Then you have all
the things other people have done that you maybe using, well that stuff
may not be ready. Quite a few things changed in fuerte and even more will
change in groovy most of which requires some changes for packages/stacks
that were running on diamondback or electric. So basically the core is
ready all the stuff in the extremities needs to be adapted which is up to
those maintainers to do so.

Wasn't there an HBRobotics lecture on ROS recently? Anyone remember when?
I managed to load Ubuntu on an older IBM notebook computer, I'll try ROS on
it before I find and order a SBC-FITPC2.
Any suggestions? ROS.org? 11.10 Electric?
Thanks!
Alan
