Raspberry Pi hardware commitment
Community interest in Pi
There are only 50 Raspberry Pi boards in existence - until Nov 2011 when the first 10 000 boards will be snapped up by developers. Puppy will be there, paws ready . . .

Use Debian or Slackware as the bootstrap device for the first Dpup or Spup (Slacko) to run on Pi.
Once Puppy is solidly on Pi we will add drivers for other devices
