How soon before Puppi is on the Raspberry Pi?
Guys our worst developer - that would be me, Lobster, has a Rpi board. It came two days before general release. Debian, Fedora and Arch have had boards six months ahead of us. More able developers such as Barry, Raffy, Sickgut, Antiloquax (has board), MarkG, John Murga (has board) and others have boards on order or just arriving
The Raspberry Puppi is part of PARM. We are making Puppy available for ARM processors, tablets and smart dog and bones
How do I get an operating system for my Raspberry Pi NOW?
Mark (antiloquax) is working on an ARCH based Puppy in Qemu
This base info will help bootstrapping a Puppi distro
Debian Squeeze for Raspberry Pi contains some Puppy familiar programs, such as Geany and Leafpad
Can I have a step by step setup tutorial?
How do I burn the Debian Image; the downloadable .img with Puppy?
In Puppy Slacko and most modern Puppys, click on the downloaded Squeeze zip
The zip will extract.
Move to unzipped image directory, open a console by
right clicking and select new terminal. Type
# dd bs=1M if=debian6-19-04-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
The part debian6-19-04-2012.img is the operating system image and if you have a later image
replace with the updated image name
And for ArchLinux?
dd bs=1M if=archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
login root
password root
No Window manager just cli
type help to get started

If you are getting strange auto-repeats or other weird behaviour try plugging the USB keyboard or other device directly into the Rpi, or use a powered hub.
What if I am American?
Any Youtube tutorials?
Can I have Raspberry PI FAQS?
After developers, testers and users have Pi hardware, we can move towards the first mainstream ARM Raspberry Puppi ISO
