Raspberry Pi

Came across something very interesting yesterday – Raspberry Pi.
It’s a $25/$35 dollar computer.
It is cheap and very customizable.
What can we do with it? Anything or nothing.
After doing through the articles, this very cheap computer is very small, and it is running on ARM. A platform used by smartphone. In theory, it should be able to run, android or meebo on it.
For a start, it already is it’s own OS. Call raspbean. Basically it is Linux, Debian based Linux.
