I've had mine for a couple of weeks.  Played with a couple of Linux distros=
 and found them as unfriendly as I remembered and almost unusably sluggish =
in the case of the standard Debian distro.=20

I'm now running the alpha release of RiscOs  for the RPi and what a revelat=
ion in terms of speed!  Admittedly it's a bit limited at the moment e.g. a =
little fussy on SD cards and only a few basic apps included (though you can=
 install the NetSurf browser), but the Linux distros will need to make a qu=
antum leap in speed to compare with it.

Cheers

Mike
