It's probably a stripped down Fedora so it should work fairly fluidly. Gentoo would also work but it'd be a lot more effort, but not much more than Arch.

Guess I will be sticking with Ubuntu and Mint for the foreseeable future. I am too much of a wannabe when it comes to being technologically proficient.

I believe there's ARM/OMAP images for Ubuntu as well.

Not the slightest clue as to what OMAP is but I assume that means that Raspberry Pi can run Ubuntu and by extension Mint too, right?

Yeah. That's the CPU architecture Raspberry Pi uses.

I'll be using the Fedora remix as detailed there, I'm used to CentOS and RHEL, Fedora is normally a bit to unstable (experimental/bleeding edge) for my work needs but it'll be great for the Pi.

You make it sound like its a slow CPU, it's not so bad
- the Pi uses ARM11, the same chip used in the iphone 3G, clocked at nearly twice the speed (412/700Mhz).

Like I see, I am not as technologically proficient as I would like to be, and Raspberry Pi running the same CPU as a mere phone sounds like the Devil's work to me.

Does anyone have one yet? According to the first email mine should have been delivered yesterday; the second email predicts 14th May but I thought they said the second load of emails were to be ignored?
