Certainly a raspberry pi is enough to run LMS :) Other alternatives would be a a low powered computer like a Dell Optiplex (from the bay of sometimes not so evil) or if you have an unused computer / laptop, pop a Linux Mint or Debian OS on it and install LMS. 64 bit processer is preferable, but 32 bit is possible, with a little binary building (it just takes time and patience). I'm playing this morning with an O2 Joggler which has a Debian Bullseye Lite OS install running LMS V8.3.1, Local Player Plugin and Jivelite. If buying a raspberry pi, I would recommend to use an approved reseller (no price gauging allowed) and take advantage of the guarentee that is offered. If you buy second hand then be prepared to lose money if it fails (they do sometime fail).
