Raspberry Pi 2

So whilst I was joking with my partner about getting another Rpi the following day she actually ordered me one. She showed me a picture and the title stated Raspberry Pi 2? I kinda never believed it as they had only just released the B+? After a little research it was released 2days prior to my partner ordering. It was a deal on eBay from ThePiHut at a price of £52 which included the rpi, case, power, 8gb micro SD, and wireless dongle. The next day it arrived and I was excited to be let down the power supply didn't work (being sent a new one) but for now it can run on TV USB 

The installation
So the SD card come with noobs installed so I decided to go with Raspbian as it's prolly the easier one for me even though I'm good with Linux. So I install it and type free and notice it shows 744mb ram? Swear it was 1024mb. After a little research it was a kernel glitch that was an easy fix and I've patched it and now shows 900 odd. Obviously with limited space i can't do much, I removed unwanted packages and now using 600mb disk space whilst running motion (Sony ps3 eye camera) as a baby monitor all working well so far.

I might release a quick patch for the kernel showing incorrect memory. I'm not sure when anyhow it's 12:31am and sleepy. Oh and ronsor sorry I crashed your IRCD I must be too skilled with just mobile access

Goodnight and God Bless.
