Comment 7 for bug 848154

By conservative estimates, 100,000+ people tried to order 10,000 Raspberry Pi's!

So this is still the boat that canoncial/ubuntu wants to miss? ? ? Really? ? ?

That 100K is probably on the low side based on most on the true numbers. Thats 100K+ potential converts to the path of Linux... which right now are headed to Debian.

Karmic had the ability to work on this, revert back to the Karmic build process. TI/OMAP Beagleboards are not the only ARM game in town!

Lets be less specific in the hardware and support the devices that make sense, and Raspberry Pi, has proven that it MAKES SENSE by a factor of 10x.

Back and forth on valid, invalid, valid, invalid. This is a valid bug, and it needs action, now.

Due to the process of the way the Pi boards are being delivered you probably have 2 months to resolve this and have an image ready for an SD card. This image needs to get to Farnell, and RS so they can put it into the bundles.

What could be better for Raspberry PI and canoncial/ubuntu than users purchasing a bundle, putting an SD card in and getting a KUbuntu, or XFCE, or LXDE desktop. What could be easier for new users to use synaptic and get the tools & software they need be it programming or just general desktop...

This is the chance to meet that 200 million users goal.

Have they sold 100K in total of the Beagleboards? Let alone in ONE DAY ( or at least tried to!?!)? No.
