The Linux operating system for the Raspberry Pi bare-bones computer is ready to download.

The Arch Linux ARM download is based on Arch Linux, which the Raspberry Pi Foundation says "provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs".
 
However the organization warned that this distribution "may not be suitable for beginners."
 
The Linux OS does not come with a graphical user interface, though the Foundation says people could "easily install" one. It will be released on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.
 
The credit-card-sized system has generated huge interest since its inception, with thousands of people pre-registering to buy the £22 device last week.
 
On 3 March, the Foundation also announced that it would be doubling the capacity of the Model A RAM to 256 MB and said these devices should be available to pre-order shortly.
 
The Raspberry Pi's will be manufactured and distributed in the UK by Premier Farnell and RS Components.
