RaspberryPi (PC for $25) and LiteCoin mining

[LiteBit]

On RPi's website FAQ...

What Linux distros will be supported at launch?

Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux will be supported from the start. We hope to see support from other distros later. (Because of issues with newer releases of Ubuntu and the ARM processor we are using, Ubuntu can’t commit to support Raspberry Pi at the moment.) You will be able to download distro images from us as soon as the Raspberry Pi is released, and we will also be selling pre-loaded SD cards shortly after release.

Do any of the current LTC miners work with Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux?

Sure on all of them

Do any of the current LTC miners work with Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux?

Is that a rhetorical question?

If it is not, the answer is yes, cpuminer should work on pretty much all Linux distros.
It even works on Solaris/SPARC, I think that's enough said.

I've got a couple of UltraSparc 5 boxes. Might be worth a giggle if I can get them running.

In the meantime:

I posted hashrates for openssl run on a Raspberry Pi in this topic, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67707.0

Power is 5V@700 milliamps (standard MicroUSB mobile phone charger)

I just got a raspberrypi. I ran cpuminer on it and got:

Well that is a bit depressing, but then again, what did we really expect? :-)

It's "-O3", not "-03".

Sorry to dig this up, but i'm trying to compile litecoind in my Raspberrypi but with no success. Can anyone give me some pointers? I have debian, but i can't get the damn thing to install.

Thanks.
