Adafruit’s custom Rasp Pi distro eases some pain

[wraggster]

Many of you have still not yet received your Raspberry Pi. When you do, you’ll find that there is work to be done in the operating system to get things working as you might want them to. The wonderful folks over at Adafruit have tackled this by releasing their own distribution of Linux for the Raspberry Pi.
Based on the shipped distribution “Wheezy”, Adafruit’s distribution “Occidentalis v0.1. Rubus occidentalis” or “the Black Raspberry” now includes the following:

• Updated to Hexxeh firmware
• 4 Gig SD image (will not fit in 2 G cards!)
• I2C and hardware SPI support
• I2C/SPI modules initialized on boot
• sshd on boot
• ssh keygen on first boot
• runs ahavi daemon (Bonjour client) and is called raspberrypi.local
• Realtek RTL8188CUS wifi support
• One wire support on GPIO #4 when loaded
