Hi,
one my friend got Raspberry Pi yesterday so I have seen it in action. I had almost no time for experiments but I have seen Fedora 17 on it with standard Squeak (3.10) packages for this distro on FullHD display. On that VM (3.10.5) I got about 40M bytecodes/sec and 1M sends/sec. The environment is not extra fast but usable without problems. I will pray for successful GSoC ARM JIT project :-) The device was connected to the professional meter and the power consumption was about 3.5W.
Cheers, -- Pavel
Amazing, a 256MB RAM machine with a main board which includes everything for 35USD. Some five to seven years ago one would not have believed that this is possible. And thanks to the open source movement providing software for it is possible..... Thank you for this short report. --Hannes
