The BBC are planning to release an OS for it dubbed the BBC Micro 2.

Cant go wrong really, its going to be huuuuuuuge.

Shameless recidivist
As someone currently working in IT, I beg to differ. There's a vast difference between internal complexity that requires earnest study but is ultimately comprehensible, and something that's just plain badly-designed from a UI standpoint. Linux isn't a hassle to learn, it's a hassle to use.
Nothing to see here..
Move along..
Please don't feed the troll.. ;-)
Slightly back on track, I was disappointed the the Raspberry Pi doesn't have RGB output..
Would have loved to use one of these in my Arcade machine.. ;-)

I've just registered for one. I really want this now that I actually know about it LOL.
Let's leave the LINUX OS tooing and froing alone as Desiv says - the machine had to come with some sort of OS and did you see the price? What would you like for that price? £250k development of a completely new OS (if you're lucky) or license Window$ or IO$? Keep it in perspective please.
Looking forward to actually being able to order one or two
Cheers

The beauty with Linux is if you feel that way you are more than welcome to fix it
And to get back on topic, the whole point in Raspberry Pi is to try to ensure that there are more people who are able to fix it. It may work and it may not work, but at least they're trying to get people back into real computing rather than just "IT Skills."
And let's not forget that either of those options would have required that the boot process be locked down, making the device way less useful for learning about low-level programming.
Oops. How did that happen?

I think that is a disease you get from handling too many 4kg Microsoft-manuals, or taking a stage dive from your office desk after successfully navigating yourself through - and found - one particular setting in one of the server software microsoft delivers.
However, I'm a developer. So I tend to think sysadmin stuff is about as fun as pulling teeth whatever flavour it is. And my last attempt at running one of the popular windows server software (mssql) ended badly when it repeatedly crashed during the attempts to install it. So I went for postgresql, which of course isn't the same caliber but still. it didn't refuse to install.
Nice Raspberry Pi case currently on Ebay:

If they wanted to do that then bring back the 8 bit computers with in the class room and give them a history lesson in programming.
history repeats itself

history repeats itself minimig c-one amiga variants there first just to name a few i saw a chappy on here got a mini computer for his daughter that she built her self i think i will get my son one he is up for witch is good he is getting quite good at amos and octa med
