Got mine today and had a quick play with it, I'm a linux noob really so still trying to find my way round things. There seems to be an issue with the audio drivers at the moment.
 
Still waiting here! Cant wait! though no idea what im going to do with it

Bah amateur, i woke up 7.45, turned PC on around 8am and 8.08 i had it ordered :p
My came yesterday but it doesn't like my microSD in adapter (which i knew it wouldn't but thought i'd give it a try before spending money). Ordered normal SD card from OcUK today so hopefully I'll get to play with it tomorrow evening.

I had a similar story, woke up at just before 6am and saw the web servers go up in flames at 6. Decided I wasn't gonna get one and went back to bed. When I woke up again at 8am I tried again and managed to snag one from the first batch :D
 
At the risk of being flamed, my efforts of waking up at 5:45 on the launch day and persevering with the ordering pages have finally paid off..... Today I took delivery of a Pi from both suppliers!! Woohoo!

Time to get working on my Pi-Cluster :D:cool::D

All working great here - using the debian squeeze image on a minisd card with adaptor that i had kicking about and powered by my phone charger. Web browsing is a little choppy but ok for light use. Looking forward to proper sound and video drivers which should speed things up. Also overclocked cpu to 800mhz. Will leave playing with voltages for another day.
