Raspberry Pi Linux distro rolled out, new delays in pipeline

Raspberry Pi Linux distro rolled out, new delays in pipeline

The Raspberry Pi, touted to be the world's smallest desktop by some (if you get the right case, of course), has just had its Linux distro released, but then again, there are niggling issues with its production. Apparently, the manufacturer somehow managed to use Ethernet jacks without integrated magnetics, which in turn are integrated transformers that offer DC-isolation in addition to filtering noise out. The wrong jacks have been soldered to the Raspberry Pi boards, and to remedy this mistake, they have to be removed – and obviously, replaced with the right parts and bits before the Raspberry Pi is shipped to the end users.
