So... Anyone have one? For those who do not know what the Raspberry PI is, its a little computer the size of a credit card, designed by a charity to get children into programming, but it has many more uses.
It's memory system is SD cards, 2GB minimal, 4GB recommended. The OS that it is designed to run on is Debian Linux, which is installed on the SD card by the user, but there are more options for different uses.
There are 2 Models, model A which costs 25 USD and model B at 35 USD. Model B has 512MB of RAM (Model A has 256MB), Model B has 2 USB ports (Model A has one) and Model B has Ethernet (Which Model A lacks), however Model B uses way more power. Both have a processor speed of 700MHz (Can easily overclock to 800MHz.)
Currently, many projects are being created, including Minecraft: PI edition (Cut down version of Pocket Edition) which is planned to be free.
There are different suppliers, most are UK-Based but some are US.
