Hi all, Forgive me as this is almost completely off topic but given the background of some people I've seen around this list for the year or so I've been lurking I figured this might be of interest.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs The summary of the above is an ARM powered SOC, with USB, SD Card, HDMI, RCA, 3.5mm Audio Out and GPIO pins all in a package about the same size as a bulky USB memory stick. The best part about this thing, $35 if you want the model with a network port on it. It is due to finish its first production run of 10,000 units at the end of January with a limit of 1 per customer. I can think of lots of things to use this for and I'm guessing the first 10k units will sell out near instantly given the interest surrounding it however what about a Rivendell system on one of these things? It supports Fedora and some others "out of the box", add yourself a USB sound card and suddenly it looks quite interesting? Obviously I have no idea how difficult getting Rivendell working on one of these would be. Either way its a project produced by a charity in the UK with the noble aim of getting every kid a computer to rekindle the late 70s early 80s era of bedroom programmers. It seemed like a fascinating project to share here anyway, apologies if this isn't relevant to you.
