Not quite the $ 25 Computers

After all, he was here on Amazon available, even in the new version with 512 MB RAM. You should be familiar with Linux, if you order it, otherwise you can quickly despair. For installing multiple operating systems I recommend Berry boat. That was easy, and many things like partitioning etc. are taken one. Thanks to the HDMI cable I connected him to the television in the living room. It is important to remember that the Scriptures are sometimes very small (from a distance from the sofa). To round out the thing, you need a lot of hardware; so I was at the end but just under 160 until he was ready. To remove you a bit of research, here are some useful components, which I bought as an accessory (most here at Amazon, see my other reviews):

- Plexiglas housing
- Transcend 16GB SDHC card
- HDMI cable
- 1.2-A Micro-USB power adapter
- Edimax EW-7811Un Wireless USB WLAN
- Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard
- Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (F5U234)

After updating the Raspberry-Debian I could without patches and Rumgefrickel immediately WLAN use (Stand 12/2012). The keyboard and the stroke I have worried me, after I had researched the compatibility on the Internet. Both worked well and I was able to easily use USB hard drives via Hub Debian (I want my OwnCloud install for home network). When Logitech also everything is very comfort of your sofa works. Also, I recommend everyone the power supply, especially when (like me) some USB devices, hence a "powered lift" so that the RaspPi must give no electricity.
I advise on the Raspberry when
a) has no idea of ​​Linux,
b) a full-fledged computer needs.
Much is tough and takes time, but as a small network server with various services (eg, LAMP), it is sufficient. Maybe I'll try one more time, media center, but as far as I'm still not.

Why a point deduction?
Because I have paid more than $ 25 and because you have to buy a lot of accessories until you can use the thing!

Nevertheless, exactly what I wanted: a hacker's toys
