Glenn, also a thing to consider is this. If you live in the United
States, and order from the one company that the RPi Foundation suggested
here in the states, you may have received the board in October/November,
but it still might be an early revision 1. It's all dependant on when
you actually ordered the boards here, and where you ordered from. I
can't remember which company was shipping to the states officially,
where as all the others were unofficial, or purchased from somewhere and
resold here, but there was something like a 6 to 8 month wait on the
time from when you ordered, and when it actually arrived.
Another thing you can do to check on some specs of the Pi, is issue this
command:
sudo lshw
or if it's not installed
sudo apt-get install lshw or
sudo pacman -S lshw
and then issue the above command. I suggest starting a log script first,
and naming it somethign you will remember. For example what i do,
especially on a machine with a load of hardware that I'm checking is
this (using Arch as my example):
sudo pacman -S lshw
y
script -f hardware
sudo lshw
exit
then, to scroll through at a pace I want:
nano hardware
and finally when I'm done, control +x to exit nano.
Hope this helps someone as well.
