For many years now Big Ben Club has centred its activities around the RISC OS operating system. RISC OS was developed in the UK in the nineties as a tool for home computers with ARM-processors and attached hardware, these being first introduced in the same period. RISC OS has proven to be a fast and comfortable software package for the low-energy ARM-computers.

While ARM-processors have conquered the world, ARM-powered desktop computers were less succesfull. In the first decade of our century production came to a halt.

And RISC OS? By now it is an open source operating system, still under promising further development. Variants have been adapted for recent equipment, while in ARM-powered hardware the special qualities come out best. Prominent among popular hardware that accomodates this nice OS is the space saving Raspberry Pi. And it's quite affordable too!

Fancy the Raspberry Pi but not a member of our club? No problem, we'll help you out!

Big Ben Club focus is on the support of Raspberry Pi and RISC OS amongst Dutch users. Nice aspect of our club is the mutual support members can offer in getting things going. All is usually supposed to work Plug and Play - but real life can be different and it's good to find a helping hand.
