Well that pretty much settles it - Arch don't provide an image anymore for writing to my SD card, which means I need a linux machine to install it. Raspbian it is then
:C
(A guy has put an image file on Sourceforge, but sourceforge is all kinds of fucked up right now)

Yup.
Also, I've now fucked my SD card partition table. Windows is too shite to fix it, so now I need to go hunting for a free tool that'll do the job. Bloody windows

Gparted on whatever bootable linux you have. Always the best way to sort things (or trash them if you need to).

Finally writing the raspbian image to my SD card.
Going to experiment with a couple of things tonight: writing software for the pi to display data coming over the SPI line on screen in whatever window manager raspian uses and then Interfacing the PI with an arduino LCD-keypad shield (and shoving some of the SPI data I'm reading over to the LCD).
If I can make all that work then my laser cutter is going to be fucking /awesome/.
