Earlier in the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS “Precise Pangolin” development cycle I noted some performance improvements happening on the ARM side, particularly for Texas Instruments OMAP4. Namely, Ubuntu 12.04 was ARMing up for better performance with ARM hard-float support and the performance becoming more compelling for the PandaBoard ES hardware with proper cpufreq support. In this article is a comparison of the Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 ARM performance.

Think a new computer will cost you at least a few hundred quid? Think again. The Raspberry Pi is a computer powerful enough to handle Full HD video — but it’s about the size of a credit card and will set you back only £16.

The online developer community is abuzz over the release of this little chap, which is scheduled for later this month. Its aim is to provide a cheap platform for learning programming and electronic tinkering, hopefully to encourage a new generation of students into taking up computer science.
