Hi All:

Raspberry PI is launching in just a few week. For those of you who want to
get ready here is a way you can do so. The OS of the Raspberry is a highly
optimized and compiled version of Fedora Linux which is compiled for the
specific hardware and will not work on another device.

But you can setup a virtual drive on your PC, install Debian Linux and
configure it in a very similar method to how the Raspberry PI will run.
Below is a set of tutorials on how to accomplish this and even how to do
some game programming, on the new computer. It is simple, has a very small
foot-print, can install on any PC with a few Megabytes of room. (These
tutorials are very educational and can be used to train further...)
