I intend to use your free image with my Pi. I have downloaded and unzipped the image, written it to a microSD chip, and installed it in my new Pi. The power supply arrived today, so I assembled it and powered it up for the first time. The red LED lit up, and the yellow one next to it flashed rapidly for a few seconds at least. Success!
I didn't get much farther, though. I thought I had an HDMI cable to connect a monitor, but don't. Did plug in a mouse, but couldn't really tell if it did anything.
Looks like a trip to Best Buy tomorrow for their least expensive HDMI cable that's in stock. Best Buy lists a $6 cable with a $6 shipping charge, and a $10 cable I can pick up at the store, maybe. Says it's in stock at my local store, but not on display! Probably could have gotten one delivered cheaper from New Egg.
