    Raspberry Pi

    I am aware that this a digression.....
    Anybody out there got a Rasperry Pi.
    I am retired and thinking of getting one to play with when the winter comes.
    The plan to get me out of the wife's way! or the management as I call her.

    Any comments or observations will be received with interest.

    Got one too - use it as a server monitor.
    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.

    Re: Raspberry Pi

    I've thought about playing with a Hackberry A10 myself... has more of everything than the Raspberry Pi. More powerful ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, Mali 400 GPU, More RAM, more Flash memory, etc.

    Thought about building a nice fancy woodwork box to place it in and use it as a sort mini HTPC... likely with an ARM build of Ubuntu, Bodhi, Debian, Arch, etc. As long as I have a music app and VLC, or XBMC, then I can play anything from a big 32GB SD card
    Don't like Unity? Hate it? Not your cup of coffee? Ubuntu does provide choices. There's GNOME Shell, KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE, and now MATE and Cinnamon. Take your pick
