Interesting tidbit...

[Gene Buckle]

I've got a Raspberry Pi computer (http://www.raspberrypi.org) and just for
giggles I tried building Scarlet on it. The build takes a while but I'll
be damned if it doesn't work!

700 Mhz ARM7(8?) CPU with 256MB of RAM. Works like a champ from the
minimal testing I did.

I suspect it's literally the cheapest computer any multi-value database
has ever been used on. :)

nice one. haven been interested in doing this since I've seen the spec for the pi.
how's the performance?

It's actually pretty nice. Runs off a 4GB SD card. I'm using the Debian
Squeeze distro with it at the moment. I'm working out a few OpenGL issues
in order to do some testing to use it with some glass cockpit software
I've got. It would make an insanely great and affordable flight sim
avionics controller. At $35 you certainly can't beat the price!

Hee! I've had it since June 16th. Just got around to laser cutting a
case for it yesterday and powered it up for the first time today. :)

Grrrr... still waiting for mine.  :)

And well done for getting Scarlet to run  on it!  Far, far more interesting than the 64bit work :)

I fear the 64 bit work is more important in the long run though. :(

Having it running on the Pi makes it more accessible.  Perhaps that might increase the Scarlet exposure, which in itself increases the chance of a community built 64bit version. :)

Yep, I'm being optimistic, as life is too short for the alternative!

Do we have any Debian packaging gurus lurking on the list?
