There are some fedora packages of pd floating around. It would be great for someone to update them and include them in the pure-data SVN or some repo somewhere. Also, if someone makes a fedora package .spec file for the Library Template, it'll be really easy to package lots of other libraries for Fedora.

If you get Debian running on the Pi, then just apt-get install puredata.

i figure it won't be too long before nearly everyone including planet CCRMA has a build going specifically for the Pi. there' s a very good chance the Pi Foundation can license the design to other makers, so by May or so i'd bet a number of different places will have them in stock. the biggest issue for me is how much DSP performance you get out of something whose speed matches the iPhone 3GS. the awesome thing would be to put their display engine to work doing DSP but i think that's a long way down the line if ever due to the limited API access. i started a thread about this a bit ago and if i remember, the falling down point of ARM was that it didn't handle floating point well. i'd be curious how much these devices could be pushed.

No--planet CCRMA has some i386 pd packages, but not arm. If you want
to run Fedora and Pd, you will need to compile it. If only you knew
the power of the dark side, and by dark side, I mean Debian.

If you didn't get your pre-order in time for this batch, you'll have
to wait a month, I bet. By the time I got to work this morning, it
was too late.
