Raspberry Pi: Fedora

[Jayce]

How will they be huge Jayce? just curious.

Short story:
We're a Mac school district that's beginning to adopt Ubuntu systems. It's no secret, school districts are cutting back in many ways, including the technology budget. The combination of Lenovo/Linux systems here have opened the door to cost savings and more opportunity. I think the addition of Raspberry Pi systems in some lab-type areas (library labs and whatnot) could be a huge hit while not breaking the hard working tax payer's wallet.

Well, instead of paying thousands for outdated PCs, you can actually save a bundle. At only $35 a pop.

Tell me about it.
Can't wait to see to what extent they can be used ...

I've bought myself a model B from Farnell but I have no idea when the heck I'll get it. Can't wait to have some fun though. I think I might turn it into a fileserver.

"Your server is the size of a credit card?! WTF?"

 

[MyGodAL3X]

I think I'll use it for what it was originally designed to do ... learn programming ... always wanted to learn and now I have the perfect thing to play with ... if not probably going to use it on my TV to play videos.

Curious if anyone knows, but does that OS they made for it support touch devices.

Been wanting to do a coffee table mod with a touch screen, etc and the RasPi might be awesome for that.

I think it has potential for it. "There's software for that"

lol ahhh the old "There's software for that" well that is what i will be doing with it first, looking for touch applications
