Raspberry Pi Model A
256 MB RAM, 1 USB Port
The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost credit-card sized computer board which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It's also a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets and word-processing, it even plays high-definition video. Or you can use it as a small server for applications like
mpd or
ownCloud. Or as a gaming or emulation system. Or something entirely different, it's up to you. :-)
The system must be booted from an SD card (
suitable card images are freely available), other mass storage devices can be connected via USB.

Model A Notes:
The Model A of the Raspberry Pi is a stripped down version of the
Model B, there is no Ethernet, only one USB port and half the memory (256 MB instead of 512 MB). What sounds like a disadvantage, does not necessarily have to be one. The missing features do not only lower the price, they also lower the board's power consumption: The Model A only needs about one third of the power the Model B draws, so it's the perfect base for projects that need to be powered by batteries or solar cells.
