Raspberry Pi microcomputer

Post by TyrasEngineer » 03 Mar 2012, 08:29

This computer is being manufactured to aid programming teaching, but looks reasonably cool so I'm thinking about getting one. Their website's here:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
if anyone's interested. It can (supposedly) cope with 1080p video, but it will be interesting to see if it works xD

I've been following it for quite awhile now. Pretty neat stuff.

I was thinking about getting one and turning it into an HTPC and throwing XBMC on it.

I just want to try and learn stuff. I dislike using computers whilst understanding virtually nothing of how they work.

I'll stay blissfully ignorant and get on with the playing that can be done, leaving all the technical stuff to Bill Gates and suchlike. . .
