Just bought a raspberry pi, what you advise me to do?
Just bought a raspberry pi computer - mainly for test and development purposes - I'll start testing new distros, and working on the Linux kernel and testing stuff.
I'd like to know if you bought it, or have any idea, what else you advise me to do, that would be funny in development purposes, and also testing new hardware implementation for it. Any tutorial, etc?
- lmm 14y agoIf you don't know what to do with it, sell it to someone who does. It's a tool, it's meant to enable you to do what you want, not be an end in itself.
- rogcg 14y agoI know what I want to do with it as I mentioned in my post - I'm just asking for new opinions. I'm asking what people have done with it, hardware implementation/improvement, and other tests. I want to share and learn new ways and stuff to do with it. First try to understand the question, and not just answer it. =/
- dholowiski 14y agoWhat I really want to do is get about 10 of them, and build a web server cluster, and see how much traffic I can serve. It would be great experience building a complex site with many servers, on the cheap. You could also weatherproof one, set it up to run on solar power, put it outside with a web cam attached. Or build a remote weather station.
- rogcg 14y agothese are great things to do with it! Also I was thinking in implementing new hardware stuff for it. Thanks for the tips.

- rogcg 14y agoLOL. indeed, I'm certainly gonna blog about it.
- underdesign 14y agoI got one. I have no idea where to begin. From what I've read, while the graphics chip is powerful, the processor will leave you unimpressed, as it's pretty slow. My plan was to try and get it to run as a MAME head on a decent flat-screen (with USB controllers). I love the solar-powered webcam idea above, and this might take precedence.

- Quiark 14y agoI'm using it as a media center (XBMC), but this http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=OpenELEC_Boblight_addon http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=OpenELEC_Boblight_ad... looks like a nice project as well: 1. create an array of colrful LEDs 2. connect to GPIO of RPi 3. fun!
- rogcg 14y agoreally cool project! thanks for the tip!
