Raspberry Pi

[Ballwinkle]

Is anyone gonna get one of theese babys? If anyone dosent know what it is, its basically a £22 computer that runs linux the size of a credit card. 'The British-made wi-fi gadget is a credit-card-sized computer designed to teach school children how to programme, and goes on sale today.'

im thinking of getting one, im sure itll be handy to take around, seeing as it can play Quake 3!

Only 256mb of ram for my $25?! NO DEAL!

I was up at release last night, and played my part in crashing their servers, as well as those of their distributors. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to order one yet.

I plan on using it to play with OpenCV. I think I can make it recognize hand gestures, and hopefully get it to draw on the screen what I draw in the air.
And, of course, playing Quake will be a nice little addition.

For $25 I would buy it then.

You don't necessarily need the Raspi for that; you could get OpenCV up and running on your computer right now, and could have it recognizing your face almost immediately. (assuming you have a webcam + knowledge of c++ or python)

I want the Raspi just so I can mess around with little projects, which is one of the main design philosophies behind the device. They wanted to make a computer cheap enough that kids could be encouraged to experiment with coding, electronics, etc. without worrying about destroying a $1k+ computer.

Hmm, does anyone think the Hardwarespeccs of the RaspPi would be enough to run a Trinity Core?

[Ballwinkle]

Erm maybe a login server on thoes specs, but i think trinitycore supports x86 and x64 but not ARM

It probably can run a server with basic things for yourself.
