Would RPi owners say hello in this thread pls?
-
Hello.

Hello, hello, hello (I have three).

@ip75 -is that because you need three Ethernet ports? ;D ;D

Hello :)

Ha! Actually, I have one (a version 2) running DSLStats, and two version 1s running Kodi (XBMC) in different rooms. They're ideal for both of these tasks.

not sure how many I have actually lol, I think a B, 2 B+s and a 2.

Burakkucat, what's an original Type B?
-
The original Type B had twice the memory (and also a NIC) when compared with the original Type A.
Original, as in the initial device that was launched back in 2012.
The history of the device is somewhat confusing, considering it has only been available to purchase during the last three and a half years. The Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi) is a good source of the historical information.

I was thinking of writing a kind of modified DHCPv6 server, which would be MAC-address aware, so you could maintain a table of MAC addresses and assign IPv6 addresses to machines based on table-lookup. Similar to what the Firebrick 2x00 can do already, but with IPv6 instead of IPv4. I don't know if it's doable yet, it's still just a very vague idea.
I'd also like to try to develop a tunnelling device so my iPad could get onto the IPv6 Internet over 4G/3G.

Hello and welcome to the Sudo command :giggle:

@NewtronStar - ?? apologies

Could someone point me in the direction of some reading matter for the range of software available for Raspbian?
-
@NewtronStar - ?? apologies
I would get stuck in asap it's a very rewarding OS but gezz it's hard to remember all those commands and have a working PC beside you because you will be doing alot of Google RPi raspbian searches.
The whole joy with the RPi is the learning experience there is no point on us telling you what to do as that takes away the reason why the RPi was invented if you know what i meen.
but start at this site https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)

I was doing some reading about the virtues of XxxBSD, and I wonder if anyone has built an image, ready-cooked of one of the BSD’s for the Raspberry Pi?
Any BSD sages around?
-
@NewtronStar - I'm so new to *nix and the Pi that I'm just trying to get a feel for what's worth doing, and haven't even picked an os yet. Raspbian has so much stuff available, in terms of pre-cooked software, documents tutorials and so forth, so that tends to make it the obvious choice. But *BSD and Windows 10 are also calling to me.
I'd live to get some top tips regarding good tools, so that I don't start off doing things in a really horrible, painful way.

You are going to need to install Putty on your PC and set it up for the RPi from then on you can send commands direct to the RPi from PC and yes start with the Raspbian OS.

Late entry here because I only recently got the bug.
I have 3 - they are very cheap (a tenner used) and very flexible.
They're a bit like Meccano (but cheaper!).
I love 'em!
One of my unfinished projects (unfinished) is a broadband access project.
On hols I use a standard Alfa R36 + USB antenna to access Fon.
But the router tends to grab a strong-but-cross-talky instance of the "BT Wifi +Fon" SSID rather than the strongish-but-clean instance that I want, even when I say which MAC address I want via the router's UI.
Enter raspberry Pi which can work as a USB wifi router easily and be coded to ONLY join the MAC address I want.
I guess you could flash the R36 with OpenWRT and then code in there but I'd have to learn a lot about OpenWRT and I'd have to hack my router. Not even sure if that is straightforward.
The Pi is already accessible, flexible etc.
If I get it to work I'll post the set up.

A warm welcome to Brian.

Hello

Brian, what kind if case(s) do you have, if any?
