I have a computer with 64MB running Debian 5.0 with Fluxbox so that sounds like what one would do on this. The site doesn't say much about software.

It's going to be an interesting project to watch. Times have changed since the BBC came out. I'll be very interested in seeing how kids take to something like this.

I saw it demonstrated on a TV programme some time ago and I am sure they had Lubuntu running on it. The desktop was LXDE for sure.

I also found this news item on Yahoo. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/raspberry-p...hes-sites.html
