Hi everyone,

You may have heard of the Raspberry Pi [1], a fully programmable computer the size of a credit card for $25-$35. It will run a linux (debian/fedora/arch) distribution on a 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core (ARM11 family) [2].

My one of these is on order, and the first thing I intend to do is install and test git. Has anyone had any experience running git on ARM, or know if there are any potential issues? I will also try compiling on the device itself, and was wondering if there is anything I will need to do especially for that architecture. I have done a preliminary google search and nothing striking came up, so any help would be appreciated!

This device was designed to try and get kids into programming, and if we are going to teach them how to hack we should give them the best tools available. Hopefully git works out of the box, but if not it would be great to get it up and running before the education launch (probably later this year).

Regards,
Andrew Ardill
