You could easily take it to your friends houses. I think it's a neat idea. Plus, as someone mentioned earlier, there are plenty of uses for a 'underpowered' computer. i've got an emachines running my bittorrent client 24/7 to save my good hard drives in my media server. Firewalls, domain name controllers, virtual private network servers. there are a ton of uses for 'underpowered' computers that can run linux. I'd probably get a couple of 'em!

Yeah! I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these and start giving them some linux love on it.

And they have just started manufacturing the first batch!.

lol damn... I remember back in the day, where I couldn't even run quake 3 on my dad's $2000 PC.

I just looked over this post before I made one about the Raspberry Pi. WOOPS!

That's exactly what I'm going to do!

I think Ben Heck modded a n64 controller to make it wireless, it's going to be called my Retro box.
