MC2 Post 1539 How Two Volunteers Built the Raspberry Pi’s OS





From:   http://arstechnica.com

When you buy a Raspberry Pi, the $35 computer doesn't come with an operating system. Loading your operating system of choice onto an SD card and then booting the Pi turns out to be pretty easy. But where do Pi-compatible operating systems come from?

With the Raspberry Pi having just turned one year old, we decided to find out how Raspbian—the officially recommended Pi operating system—came into being. The project required 60-hour work weeks, a home-built cluster of ARM computers, and the rebuilding of 19,000 Linux software packages. And it was all accomplished by two volunteers.

Roku Today Introduced the New Roku 3 Set-Top Box, and it Promises to be the Best Streamer on the Market.

Your move, Apple.


In a world where content is king, the Roku 3 has access to more 
than 750 channels, including Netflix, Amazon.
 
 

Instant Video and HBO Go. It will play games like Angry Birds in Space, which comes pre-installed. And it ships with a remote control that features a headphone jack that wirelessly streams audio from the box. You can consume all that content without disturbing your friends or family, or block out their inane gabbing with an episode of House of Cards.
