Block diagram

this block diagram, on the right:

Block diagram

is a bit confusing in that the block marked ethernet actually functions as a USB hub with three USB ports to which one of them the actual USB Ethernet adapter is connected. it Is true that the hub, and the USB ethernet adapter are integrated into a single chip, (the LAN9512) but the block diagram as drawn doesn't make sense.

Arch Linux ARM vs Arch Linux

There currently is no Arch Linux ARM article, a project *completely* separate from Arch Linux. Do not "fix" the "Arch Linux ARM" links by making them redirect to the Arch Linux article. Make the article if it bugs you that much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buhman (talkcontribs) 15:10, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent idea, I have done exactly that. No bugs were hurt in the process. Mahjongg (talk) 00:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I like it; much better; thank you very much Buhman (talk) 01:27, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AROS

When is somebody going to add AROS as a planned operating system choice for Raspberry Pi? In-Correct (talk) 18:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source mentioning the porting of AROS to the Raspberry PI? The standard version will never work as its written in x86 code. Mahjongg (talk) 21:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from "Raspi"

Hi, not sure if I'm remembering wrong, but I thought there used to be a redirect from "raspi" to this article.
If not, should there be? Seems to be a common shortening. 118.209.10.121 (talk) 23:27, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you thinking of RasPi? -- Trevj (talk) 06:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked all the redirects to this page for errors (many had no categories) and added a few. The list of titles that redirect here is now:

R-pi
RASPI
RasPi
Raspi
RaspPi
RaspBerry Pi
Raspberry pi
RaspBerryPi
RaspberryPi
Raspberrypi
Raspberyy Pi
Rasberry Pi
Rasberry pi
Razberry Pi
Razberry pi
(15 redirects)

"Raspberyy Pi" was already there and isn't worth the bother of removing it, but I avoid redirects for things like that. Let the "Did you mean: Raspberry Pi?" system take care of those. --Guy Macon (talk) 08:20, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Raspberyy Pi, I got pissed off with mistyping it more than once! -- Trevj (talk) 11:05, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Intro is written like a sales pitch

"The device also features proprietary high performance video and graphic capability as well as a low price at currently 25 USD for model A and 35 USD for model B, taxes apply."

Please, someone rewrite this in a more convenient manner, the whole intro block is written like a sales pitch
