Jason, Sorry to divert this, but I have read about you writing your thesis using LaTeX on the Orca list in the past. I was always curious and wanted to ask you what resources you used to learn LaTeX. I've been working to learn both vi and Emacs, and I think I would rather use LaTeX than a GUI word processor for different projects. As far as the Raspberry Pi goes, I am definitely planning on getting one (or more, if possible) when they are offered with cases. It is so wonderful to see all of these nice flashy Linux systems coming out. Although the price is out of range for me right now, I'd like to get my hands on a KDE Plasma Active powered Spark tablet [1] one of these days. this looks like a very promising device, especially as KDE is seeming to become more accessible thanks to QT-AT-SPI, Orca, and all of the other projects which are being developed. This is definitely getting exciting! Take care, and my apologies for my diversion from the original topic.
