download your distro first.
If you want to try out linux, Try raspbian, I have yet to try Arch, but if you like to customise and get fast boot times. Arch would be a natural progression.

Keep a note file with list of commands you would find useful.

eg typing this in the console command line    will let you change your password.
CODE

passwd


http://elinux.org/RPi_Guides

If you want to try out multimedia player/streaming, got three option.

Openelec
Xbian.org   < will download a big 793++ mb file and install from 0.8 onward >
Raspbmc.com     <a small installer and will download and install RC5 >
I have tried raspbian,xbian and raspbmc. each have their fair share of bugs.

Browse around those couple of forums and search in them if you have specific problem. If got general stuff, shoot a note here, if I know, i will just mention it.

thanks for the heads up... will need to read up a bit hehe... and in the midst of d/l the distros...

cheers

Added on October 17, 2012, 4:17 pmim hunting for the 5v 1000mA power adaptor ler, any suggestion? maybe i shud scout around for my old h/p chargers, if i got a few i might be able to test 'em when i receive my raspi...

already read 'bout the UK adaptor, but that might be my last resort if cudn't find anything suitable + decent here...

cheers

got fedup using dhcp to get da IP address, so yesterday setup a static IP... basically edit the network interface config file to set a static IP, & all the works (IP address, netmask, gateway), then check the dns server config, finally restarted the network interface. viola! static IP & no more headache trying to figure out wat IP my raspi is getting... hehe... brows.gif

still don't have time yet to play 'round wif the media player... drool.gif

cheers

your router should list your connected devices and pc?

If not then download Advance IP Scanner.

hahaha no issue ler... no poblem getting the ip from dhcp since my ip pool is small... whistling.gif

but in any case still prefer static ip for devices like this... since it's not goin' anywhere might as well
give it a permanent ip...
