CBC News and the Raspberry Pi

[Burhan Hanoglu]

"The $35 Raspberry Pi Model B, which is the size of a credit card and runs on open-source software developed at Toronto's Seneca College, became available for pre-order at 1 a.m. ET Wednesday from British manufacturers and distributors Premier Farnell and RS Components."

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi :

Software

On 19 February 2012 the Raspberry Pi Foundation released its first proof of concept SD Card image that can be loaded onto an SD Card to produce a preliminary operating system. The image is based upon Debian 6.0 (Squeeze), with the LXDE desktop and the Midori browser, plus various programming tools. The image can also run on QEMUallowing the Raspberry Pi to be emulated on various other platforms.[57]
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a version of Fedora,[58] developed at Seneca College in Canada,[59] later. The Foundation intends to create an App Store website for people to exchange programs.[60]

Furthermore; Fedora was not developed at Seneca College... Maybe it's best to advise CBC...

Regards,
Burhan
