flanker Mar 2016 3:01pm, 8 Mar 2016 16,332 posts	0 flanker Ta. I might take the easy option for now then. Can always play with a second SD with Ubuntu on. Quite excited about getting back into playing with a UNIX box ... which probably just makes me sad. Wonder how long before I can use Swift to develop for the Pi. Now that is exciting

Nightjar Mar 2016 7:01pm, 8 Mar 2016 4,174 posts	0 Nightjar Raspbian seemed like a no brainer when I got it out of my head to try any of the more 'esoteric' options. After more trips to Maplin than I care to mention I finally have some LEDs that turn on and off. silvershadow helpfully pointed out the switch on the wall does it with far less faff.
Gribbly Grobbly Mar 2016 7:03pm, 8 Mar 2016 9 posts	0 Gribbly Grobbly Raspbian since the beginning; it's kept nicely up to date and in tune with the latest Pi hardware. Rather than Noobs, I download the latest image from raspberrypi.org and then straight to SD card, with regular imaging of the SD card to keep backups of whatever I've done to the original image.
Ceratonia Mar 2016 7:07pm, 8 Mar 2016 3,236 posts	0 Ceratonia I remember debugging a customer system many years ago. They had a button which you pressed that generated an interrupt to the CPU. The CPU then polled a register to find out which interrupt source was active and called the appropriate handler. For this particular button, it went off and wrote to a memory mapped location that turned a light on. Didn't fill me with confidence about the quality of engineering in the rest of the system.

Badger Mar 2016 7:49pm, 8 Mar 2016 6,987 posts	0 Badger Today the postman delivered my Raspberry Pi 3... PSU. It's a start; have to wait for hifiberry.com to turn up before I get going on it properly, anyway.
shanksi Mar 2016 8:52am, 14 Mar 2016 1,362 posts	0 shanksi Happy Pi day, everyone (3.14 - only really works in the US but any excuse for Pi(e)). I set up RuneAudio on one of ours (a model B) - pretty pleased with how it works and have ordered a hifiberry.com for better sound quality (though I don't think it's that bad direct from the headphone jack) and for some soldering fun.

EvilPixie Mar 2016 10:35am, 14 Mar 2016 11,427 posts	0 EvilPixie I love the idea of Pi day even if only 8.5% of the world's population uses that date format!
