Hello,
Today Mo has transferred the whole of raspberryvi to a different hosting
company here in the UK because the contract ran out with the host in the
USA.
I have paid 72GBP (about 100 Dollars US) for three years. By the end of
those three years I expect Raspberry Pi to be old hat :)
It will take 24 hours or so for the domain registration to be
transferred and for the DNS change to spread.
I am probably going to upload the file to the site first and then take a
look at how to torrent the file as well.
Torrenting is not something I have done before so it might take me some
time to get my head round it.
Either way the image should be available in the next 36 hours or so.
The kernel version will be 3.10.28+, the very lat4est Arch Raspberry Pi
kernel version.
I will be writing a file of rlease notes as usual and downloaders should
make sure they read them and understand what they are getting.
Once the image is up on the site I will go back to Raspbian and attempt
to get SpeakUp running on it as stably as it is running on Arch. After
that a wholesale revue of the content of the web site will start.
