Dont use it for desktop stuff. Unless you like cutting your self.
Beyond some basic's like calc it was way to slow even over
clocked.My son and I tried raspian for a week, ended up installing
an tsclent (i think) on it and stood up an edbuntu server+xRDP for
it its desktop stuff.<br>

Subject: [ale] Distro recommendations for RPI?<br>

Happy Holidays all!<br>
<br>
I got a RPI for Christmas! (who says Christmas can't be great<br>
when you're 50?) That means I'm looking for recommendations<br>
for distros for it. In general I may be doing the following with
it:<br>
<br>
- Some testing with it around numerical applications (curious<br>
more than anything)<br>
- I'd like to write some python code that may involve Numpy,<br>
matplotlib, and a few other packages<br>
- I like a good desktop/window manager<br>
- Firefox? (not a big deal)<br>
- Playing flash movies (not sure if this is possible)<br>
- Pretty decent set of media capabilities (I may try handbrake<br>
on it at some point :) )<br>
<br>
Based on this terse set of things does anyone have<br>
recommendations for a good distro for it?<br>
<br>
My initial surfing has turned up Bodhi Linux (I really like<br>
Enlightment and want to try the newest version), Red Sleeve<br>
Linux (I'm a long-time RH and clone user), OpenSUSE (I think<br>
they use icewm which I really like), and of course, Raspian.<br>
But honestly, I'm not wedded to anything at this point.<br>
<br>
TIA! And Merry Christmas!<br>
<br>
Jeff<br>
