“Game developer David Braben caused geeks to get excited back in
May when he announced plans to develop and release a $25 PC. It is
called the Raspberry Pi, and takes the form of a USB stick that can
be plugged into the HDMI port of a display ready to act as
afully-functional PC.“The thinking behind the super-cheap PC is to get it into the
hands of school kids and let them start experimenting and
programming. The planend hardware included a 700MHz ARM11
processor, 128MB RAM, OpenGL ES 2.0, and 1080p output. It will run
Linux in some form, but importantly it’s only $25 and will allow
access to the wealth of free tools Linux has access to.”
