Did anyone get their Raspberry Pi board yet?

I've been waiting on mine for over a month now, with no word on where I am in the order queue.

At this point, I'm thinking that they'll have a newer version available before it's my turn to order one... or some Chinese company will have developed a $20 knockoff product by then.

Feel free to be jealous of me. It happens to me so rarely that I will savor it. :)

It arrived this afternoon, and the initial install of the debian image seems to have worked fine. Haven't had time to mess with it yet. Can't wait though.

People have been getting theirs lately... some reviewers are expecting way too much out of it.

I have mine up and running Debian Linux. Only problem I ran into was that it wouldn't boot with the first keyboard I tried - had to switch to an older MS keyboard. I posted details in the Hot Deals forum.

Up and running Debian on mine as well. What are the chances, if any, that a) someone will develop a workaround or alternative so we can stream netflix on these babies, or b) Netflix (or Microsoft, I guess) will add support through silverlight (I know, yeah right)? Anyone?

I received a second Raspberry Pi board in the mail today. I'm happy to sell it to anyone for my cost. PM me if interested. I guess I got in two different queues for this.

(Apologies if this is inappropriate for this forum.)
