Hi all,

Is there an image of Raspbian with TDE, built on top of a fully updated Raspbian system?

I just received my Raspberry Pi 2 today, and I'm much more impressed by its performance than the original Raspberry Pi model B that I had.

I'm curious to see how the Pi2 compares to the Cubieboard2. I bought the cubie for a server, but it became my primary desktop after installing TDE on it. TDE on the cubie works quite well for me, but most of my other hardware is pretty old (and running PCLOS/KDE4).

I'm also curious how Raspbian TDE compares to a stock TDE (armhf) on a minimal Pi2 ARMv7 Debian, e.g. http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=99472 (Wheezy) and http://sjoerd.luon.net/posts/2015/02/debian-jessie-on-rpi2/ (Jessie).

Hi,

There is currently a traffic jam in my schedule, so I didn't had much time to play with it, but so far, its performance are much like those of an entry-level PC, and not of a Pentium 1 as the original Pi. It really worth it, especially compared to the original one.

I read somewhere that they are working on a new Raspbian (and finally Ubuntu) image better adapted to the new CPU, but as of now, the image is still compatible with both the new and the old model.

Tim, I'll try the new image this weekend, and I'll give you news on it. And yes, the current Raspbian image available at raspberrypi.org works on it, as it is the image I used for my first test.

Thank you! -Alexandre
