Raspberry Pi - Teach Yourself Linux

Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!. I finally received my Raspberry Pi credit card sized $35 computer. I paid the extra $10 for the networking option, and I spent another $20 for an Adafruit plexi case for it. Here is a photo. It has a couple of USB ports, and SD card slot, video out, HDMI out, and sound out. It also has an Ethernet port for an Internet connection. It was fun downloading a Debian port for this little computer; although, ports of Android are getting out slowly. This is a hobbyist's computer; but, it is suitable for teaching kids to program, and for specific business apps. It does respectable video, all the normal stuff like spreadsheets and word processing, and you can go bare with Linux, or put a Graphical User Interface on top of it. I am going to see what legal apps I can load on it this weekend, and will report back. If you get one, you will need an SD card with at least 4 GB of storage. I used a micro USB from an old phone, with 16 Gigs, and an SD adapter. You have to download a Debian image, and use a disk imager to port it to the SD card. Once you apply power to the micro USB port on the Pi, Linux will load automatically.
