[GRLUG] GRLUG Raspberry Pi SOCIAL Tomorrow July 18 @ The Warehouse

[Bob Kline]

>From linux.slashdot.org:

**
*"Raspberry Pi, the small $35 ARM-based computer system capable of running
Linux that took the world of technology by storm just a few months back, has
its order limit shackles
removed<http://paritynews.com/hardware/item/54-order-limit-on-raspberry-pi-lifted>
as
it has been revealed that manufacturers are now producing 4000 units per
day. The Raspberry Pi Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the
tiny computer, has said that RS Components and element14/Premier Farnell
have started producing enough units to allow them to scrap the order limit
on Raspberry Pi. In a blog post, the foundation made the
announcement<http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1588>.
Initially the limit of one unit per customer was placed in the light of
limited stocks. Despite these limits, there was always a shortage and
people had to wait for long time to get their hands on one of these credit
card sized computers."*
**

Be the first to have a dozen RP's!
Control everything in your house from
the toilet to the front door bell ( I think
there's a range there... ) with its own
RP. Have spares in a case a critical RP
application goes down.

Looking at the specs, I presume the
$35 spread ( version B ) is the only
one really worth owning, although a
true minimalist might want to get by
with the $25 version, being sans Ethernet.

Is the $25 version even still made?
