@vfrmedia The Raspberry Pi is not supported by archlinux.org, but by archlinuxarm.org (who port the archlinux packages to the arm architectures). So no changes there in November.
@vfrmedia I tried to use my Raspberry Pi as a desktop, but it is too slow for surfing the net.
Now, I use it as a video game console with emulators.
@Feufochmar thanks for this, its an incentive to try and start doing more with the RPis which have been just sitting there as I found them too laggy to use for devlopment with the GUI (and my other HDMI equipped TV is in an awkward place to use with a computer) - so was planning to connect them to a switch in my under stairs cupboard and run them headless.
