<br></div>With the project I'm working on atm I couldn't get my pmpd patch to even run with the standard install (there is quite a lot going on though). Now the patch runs fine with a whole heap of other stuff on top of that (2 sensors, 6 channel soundcard etc). My htop reading fills me with joy-I think there's about a dozen processes including 3 shells.<br>
<br></div>As it's a rev1 board I built a system on top of the hexxeh image (same guy who's done the 'rpi-update' program for updating the firmware. My understanding though is that with rev2 boards don't do it.<br>
<br></div>The one that I've been keeping my eye on, and they've just released a brand new version is Mobius<br><a href="http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/">http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/</a><br></div>This is what I'll be testing out for my rev2 boards.<br>
<br></div>There's a whole host of conflicting info re RPi's out there, particularly overclocking to squeeze every last morsel of goodness out of them. Us audio bods have specific needs - like I want mine running flat out all the time without blowing up and there's a big difference with that to someone who very occasionally pushes their RPi and wants to tell everyone that there way is the best.<br>
<br></div>My own take has been to only use smaller cards (4gb) from reputable sources - very hit and miss though, very definitely YMMV<br><br></div>This has been useful for tweaks:<br><a class="" href="http://blog.extremeshok.com/archives/1081">http://blog.extremeshok.com/archives/1081</a><br>

<br></div>Don't do video so can't help on that front but my friend was just showing me his rpi xbmc setup which was really good so must be well-doable.<br><br></div>And of course there's a ton of stuff on our lovely list.<br>

hi patrick<br>
Why don't you just use millers images with vanilla or the satellite-ccrma with pd-ext, both linked here:<br>

Both images are very close to 8GB (though much of that is empty space) ... the CCRMA one did fit my SD cards but the pd-la one was slightly too big.<br>
<br>
The raspbian wheezy image will fit on a much smaller card, and will expand its partition to fill what you have, and is working nicely here. Clearly not all 8GB cards are quite the full 8GB.<br>

If you try the standard debian armel it will probably work, but is compiled for a simpler CPU without hardware float (ARMv4 rather than v6), and will be slower.<div class="im HOEnZb"><br>

Hello<br>
<br>
i just received my first raspberry doo-hickey and i am wondering what distro people are using.<br>
I tried the wheezy last night and it seems okay, i installed pd-extended after a few tries<br>
I was unsuccessful with getting the CCRMA distro to load onto an 8GB chip<br>
<br>
i basically would like to have pd with pdp working, supercollider and i assume omxplayer<br>
