[GRLUG] RaspBerry Pi

[megadave]

Hrm.. all taht USB can be hubbed. And this uses an SD card slot as its
"hard drive", so no need for IDE or SATA.. And it has ethernet.

The only issue might be the video - can you get from HDMI to VGA? I've
never used HDMI, so dont know much about it. What other video inputs
does that touchscreen have?
