Hi John,
 
I have had my Pi for a while
now and admit I have not used it much.
I downloaded the wheezy image with GB3
(3.2.1) from

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97096067/2012-07-15-wheezy-gambas3.zip

I have just tried the download, it
works. 

When you have downloaded the image (about
30 min. @ 360kbs). You will have to unzip the file and copy the image
to an SD card. 

I would use 8GB or larger. Have had problems with 32GB
and larger. I also had problems using Ubuntu to put the image on the
SD. 

I used win32diskimager to install the image to the SD in a USB
card reader on my Windows box.

When the Pi is first booted the
configuration screen will come up. Expand Wheezy to use all the SD if
you like plenty of room to play. 

Follow the other parameters to
complete the set-up.

I find the GUI very slow and have
developed my GB3 apps on my PC and then transferred them to the PI.

You can update GB3 from the sourceforge
site. If you do this with the Pi be prepared to wait a few hours for
the download and install to complete.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers Mike

RaspberryPi is offering as of 16/12/2012 a recommended image of Raspbian 
(based on Debian Wheezy) at:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup
shows how to create an image on an SD Card for booting from. I used the 
ImageWriter tool described there as I prefer a GUI to the CLI.

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6182&start=50#p189319
describes how to install Gambas 3.2.1 as it needs a patch described there.

I'll try above setup & install when I get my (actually a present for my 
grandson's 11th birthday) RaspberryPi.
