apt-get update
apt-get install arduino

this worked just fine. I had used aptitude before, good old apt-get did the trick tho :)

I use the Occidentalis 0.1 distro on my Pi, and I think it is great!

Yesterday though, I tried to install the arduino package but did not succeed: the dependencies “ca-certificates-java”, “binutils-avr” and “ttf-dejavu-extra” could not be downloaded. Do you know about this? Googling I did not immediately find an answer… Is there a way out, without reinstalling the whole distribution, or another distribution?

Greetings,
moolder

Advertisements, as long as they are suitable for the site, are a good way to generate income. Which would you prefer? Advertisements, or having to pay a subscription to access the site?

I actually like the new layout. I’m in the UK, so having most of a page taken up by events that I couldn’t get to (Maker Faire, etc) got a little irritating. One thing I would change though is the descriptions for each project/event/etc. At the moment it just looks like the site is taking the first few sentences from each article, rather than having a dedicated concise description.

PLEASE bring back the big pictures and more summary! I don’t like to read my Make through a key-hole.

I visit Make a lot less than I used to. I hope their advertisers take note. I have been using Readibilty for some time on lots of sites and now I have to use it for Make. The bummer about that is that the comments section is filtered out in Readibility – which is one of the best parts of the Make Blog. Oh, well.
