Re: Chumby os on Raspberry pi?

The "chumby os" is just Linux, which already works on Raspberry Pi (my favorite version's Raspbian ). To run Chumby widgets, you'd need some form of Flash. The version that the devices use cannot be distributed, and Adobe doesn't release Flash for anything other than x86 platforms. Open-source alternatives like Gnash and Lightspark don't work too well, and are poorly optimized.
