Linus Torvalds has spoken recently about the Raspberry Mini-pc, and he believes it's a great platform to get people interested in computers.
In an interview for electronicsweekly.com, Linus Torvalds, had quite a few kind words about the Raspberry PI, and explained that a platform needed to run Windows would be a lot more expensive. “What's interesting about Raspberry Pi is that it's so cheap almost anybody can buy it as a throwaway - throwaway in the very good sense that it could get people involved in computers who otherwise wouldn't be." "It can get people into the mindset of using a computer to do everyday jobs that even five years ago it would have been ridiculous”, said Linux Tovalds.
Raspberry Pi relies on an ARM processor with a clock speed of 700 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, an SD card slot and a 5V Micro USB connector that supplies the power. It also features RCA and HDMI ports.
