Tech Article: All About The Raspberry Pi Computer

The Raspberry Pi is, simply put, an ultra-cheap
complete computer that can run Linux, Fedora
and Arch Linux. It was developed in the UK by
the Raspberry Pi Foundation to get the youth of
today to try their hand at engineering, bringing
back reminiscences of the BBC Microcomputer
system which was also designed with similar
objectives in mind.
Fact: Raspberry Pi devices are sold as Model A
and Model B. These are cultural references to
the original models of the BBC Microcomputer.
Functioning on a credit-card sized board, it is
a bare-bones PC to which you can connect a
TV, keyboard and mouse, and on which you will
be able to surf the Web, play Full-HD movies
and do almost anything you would want to on a
"normal PC" - provided you have the initiative
and patience to make it work.
An electronics enthusiast or hobbyist or even a
student can easily make use of this computer
to build a lot of things: Linux Desktop, Gaming
Device, Home Media Center, the list goes on. As
more of these boards are shipped out, you can
hope to see an even greater variety of uses
and functions being executed by the Raspberry
Pi computer. And since all the code is open
source, it makes it so much easier on the
pocket. READ MORE:
