[Tim Moody]

as another data point, the 64G pny microsd from amazon has been working well so far.

For those who prefer one-stop shop on the rpi2 and are willing to pay a little more

http://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-starter-kit.html is what I bought.  Has a compatible wifi adapter and a 2.5A power supply plus case, etc.

  I wonder what the top usable speed for an sd card is for this device.

For such 128GB microSD's, we're now down from $29-shipped-from-China to $17-shipped-from-USA.  However "new condition" with "Brand New retail packaging" raises question as to whether this might possibly have been used a priori?  eBay seller is rated 98.7% so worth the risk?  Limit of 2 per customer, but how many earring do we need ;)

  Just got my second rpi, and discovered that they both failed until I used a more robust USB to micro USB power cable.  

  It's pretty fast, for just 3watts, including the USB wifi dongle. 

  To get the full install on fc21, I needed to comment out ajenti at /opt/schoolserver/xsce/roles/8-tools/meta/main.yml


  The base software, with rpi loader and kernel, is available at http://www.digitaldreamtime.co.uk/images/Fidora/21/ (based on a minumal 173MB download)

  There's a rtc that mounts on the accessory connectors of the rpi at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MCNMR8G

  I'm still fiddling to get a USB wifi driver, and there's still lots of testing. But completing the install process is significant in itself. Once I get it all tested, I'll post an image. I'll be about 2GB in size.
