[GRLUG] Raspberry Pi Question

[Jonathan Jesse]

Question to the group... I was getting caught up on Triangulation (one of
the netcasts on the TWiT network) and they were interviewing the guy behind
the raspberry pi...  A couple of questions sparked my intrest

1.  From the RS Components webpage:
http://www.alliedelec.com/lp/120626raso/?cm_mmc=Offline-Referral-_-Electronics-_-RaspberryPi-201203-_-World-Selector-Pageit
shows 12 weeks for shipping.  Is this really the case and also the
only
place to order it?

2.  There is an HDMI connection so can I use the $35 device instead of the
$85+ Roku device and achive the goal of streaming Netflix and or Amazon
video through or is something not currently possible?

3.  They mentioned a Debian based installer, does that provide a GUI to the
device or just a shell you do everything through?
