My Raspberry Pi is here! If you aren't familiar with what a Raspberry Pi is, it's a computer the size of a credit card. It uses an ARM processor, has 256mb or RAM, an Ethernet port, 2 USB ports, RCA Video and HDMI out, and an SD Card slot for storage/bootable OS. This little thing is capable of playing BluRay quality video!

I signed up on their waiting list March 3rd. After many "update" emails, I was finally able to order one on May 22nd. Finally on Wednesday it arrived, without any indication that it had even been shipped out. Because they needed my signature, since it came from the UK, they were able to deliver it to my work, instead of at home!
Here it is ready to be opened up!
Always read the instruction manuals! lol
After getting a micro USB power cable, and an SD Card, it was up and running!
It's running Debian "Squeeze"
The GUI
And finally... It's new home!
Here is the original LEGO case idea I used to build it from. I tried to build it a little stronger than they did, but I was running out of pieces towards the end.

I'm not sure what I'll be using it for yet, but I just had to have one! I'm sure I'll come up with something soon!
Enjoy!
