Boingo tried its hand at free WiFi with Google earlier this summer, and now it’s acquired Cloud Nine Media to help it claim a larger slice of the sponsored internet access pie. Though Boingo’s 500,000 subscription-based access points vastly outnumber its acquisition’s 6,000 ad-sponsored locations, it hopes to use the newly purchased company’s hotspot sponsorship and ad-sales expertise to increase its free WiFi footprint. “This acquisition allows us to bring that capability in-house to better serve our growing need to deliver sponsored WiFi,” Boingo CEO David Hagan told AllThingsD. Naturally, the firm’s $9.95-a-month plan will live on, but it’s good to know that Boingo will enable more folks to surf the web free of charge from here on out.

The Raspberry Pi is already considered a hacker’s paradise. However, that assumes that owners have all the software they need to start in the first place. Adafruit wants to give the process a little nudge through its Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro. The software includes a customized distribution of Raspbian, Occidentalis, that either turns on or optimizes SSHD access, Bonjour networking, WiFi adapter support and other hack-friendly tools. The build further rolls in Hexxeh’s firmware and a big, pre-built 4GB SD card image. Before you start frantically clicking the download link, be aware that the “educational” title doesn’t refer to a neophyte’s playground — Adafruit still assumes you know enough about Linux and Raspberry Pi units to be productive (or dangerous). Anyone who was already intrigued by the Raspberry Pi by itself, though, might appreciate what happens when it’s tossed into a fruit salad.
