Raspberry PI Arrived

[Jim Kutsch]

Austin,
Many thanks for passing this along.

I would have preferred using Fedora on the PI but the PI version of ARM
Fedora is no longer available on their download page and I can't find it
anywhere else.  All other articles point to the R PI download page.

I downloaded the Debian and Arch images and thought I'd check out both.  At
the moment, I'm looking for something accessible to copy the img file to the
SD card.  My Linux box doesn't have an SD card reader and the Win 7 package
I found isn't Jaws friendly.  Next is to consider Cygwin.. 

Jim

I found this article about getting Alsa to work with Arch Linux:
http://zerzer.x303.cc/2012/06/05/installing-alsa-on-raspberry-pi-and-archlin
uxarm/
Hopefully that can help even though you use Debian. It basically came down
to loading the snd-bcm2835 module with modprobe, then doing alsactl init
Then espeak should work.

gotten it working, but haven't gotten Speakup working yet. I get errors with
the portaudio alsa bridge or something. It says no such device. I'll dive
deeper. Definitely a cool project. I wrote a little article about it.
