Raspberry Pi – A Credit-Card Sized ARM Computer – Yours For Only $25
Something big has been brewing in the university town of Cambridge, UK. For the past year a team of academics, businessmen, lecturers and programmers have been making final amendments to a very exciting project indeed.
Raspberry Pi is an ultra-affordable credit-card sized computer that will be finally making its way into the sweaty palms of excitable programmers, hobbyists and students come the end of February 2012. Best of all, the machine will only set you back $25 and packs some serious punch. Read on to find out why this charitable project is going to be huge.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Re: Raspberry Pi ... mmmmmhhmmm
From the RPi forums:
Actually, this has been mentioned several times almost since day 1. Can't seem to search for "windows ce" though.
IIRC, the issues were that
- nobody's really interested in paying to port it, document it, support it. Especially not the Foundation.
- the benefits are few, mostly "it looks like Windows", which can be achieved in Linux too with minimal effort
- there's a lot less software, especially on the "learning to program" side of things, but also.. on all other sides...
- it's not FOSS, so people have practical (limited hacking/tweaking) and philosophical issues with it.

Re: Raspberry Pi ... mmmmmhhmmm
Mine arrived today.
Ensuring that I had a spare USB StuRat and keyboard for it would have been the smart thing to do.
Roll on Saturday.

I wanted to use mine as a webserver, but lately I've been thinking I should get uncapped and use it as a seedbox.

I've ordered mine. My initial plan is to use it as a music center (controlled by phone) with the ability to push music to it in an airplay type fashion.

Re: Raspberry Pi ... mmmmmhhmmm
So what it has going for it is it's small size and low price. So what can it be used for?

2. Seedbox
3. Media streaming to TV
4. Affordable computer, won't really play games, but otherwise it's a fully functional computer for browsing, document editing, etc.
