We should discuss what to consider a valid question for this site. We can expect many questions that are not Raspberry Pi-specific at all but rather specific to Linux itself or a particular piece of software. Should we direct them to other Stack Exchange sites or answer the question here?
Which web servers and frameworks work well on the RP? Are there tweaks which can be made to the web server config files that will make it run better given the limited RAM?
Having difficulties booting would mean that your SD Card is written the way it is supposed to be and the OS starts loading but doesn't proceed and most certainly doesn't prompt you for logging in.
How do you solve it?

Purchasing of the device or its accessories
@dunsmoreb I like to do that on SU. We have certain topics that are actually off-topic but are somewhat still accepted (like software recommendations software-rec).
It's good to go around and make our edits now with our proposed ideas so the community will be able to determine what they like or don't like, but we don't have any real "rules" or standards yet. We are still yet infants

@KyleMacey While I generally agree with that statement, standing on its own is somewhat hard to define at such an early state of the site. Some tags might gain much more significance. Personally, I like to apply tags in a way that it makes the existing set of questions easier to navigate, not the future ones.
(back after doing 'stuff') agree about purchasing in the most part, but in a year or so, it could wellbe a legitimate qu for someone in the back of beyond, eg. A third world country?
As the Raspberry Pi is still relatively new, and it still has a way to go when it comes to distribution, I'm fairly certain that a lot of the site's visitors will still have not acquired one. Obviously questions about ordering and pre-ordering and the like will be on their minds. Will those types...

Not having one, and not having a preference, I think it would be the default flavor of Linux for me! I'm thinking of things like JMRI (model railroad control Java app) or NLTK (python natural Lang toolkit - almost certainly yes within data/memory constraints)
I want to be able to serve files from my external hard drive through my Raspberry Pi to my network. Essentially using the Raspberry Pi as a network interface for my External Hard Drive, and allowing my other devices (game consoles, tablets, PCs, etc) to access the media there.
I like the interfa...
Low initial acceptance rates are normal for private beta - most answer acceptances take a day or two to appear (I received one today for an answer I posted last autumn!) That lag means the rate appears very low for a site that is only hours old. I'd wait a week before worrying about acceptance rates. It looks like there are quite anew answers being posted, which is good.
I already asked this question on Stack Overflow, but I would like to know if anyone managed to build a GCC 4.7 toolchain for ARM cross-compilation. There are many instructins for building GCC from source and many available cross-compilers for pre-4.7 GCC versions, just not the latest one.

Has anyone done some web server benchmarking on their Pi? I don't have my Pi yet but I'm planning on using it as a web server and I'm interested to see stats for:
Number of requests per second
Latency response time between requests
Throughput (i.e. bytes per second)
If these are different fo...
How should we tag these posts?
Currently, they are getting OS-specific tags and operating-systems tag. A few had the setup tag, so I've added it to others, but I'm not sure this is correct.
I run Ubuntu on my desktop - it's awesome and when I was new to Linux, it was pretty and shiny. I don't like Unity - made my netbook run like a tortoise. Almost everything is available on Debian. Thinking about Arch next.

Obviously, the RPi can be used to generate Bitcoins on the CPU, but this would be very slow.
Is it possible to use the GPU to generate Bitcoins?

To my understanding, the Raspberry Pi supports Debian. Has anyone had any success running Ubuntu on it?
