The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized, inexpensive computer intended for kids to learn programming. It uses a Broadcom BCM2835 system-on-a-chip with an ARM1176JZF-S 700MHz processor and VideoCore IV GPU. The Model A costs $25 and has 256MB RAM with one USB port, while the Model B costs $35 and has 256MB RAM with two USB ports and Ethernet. The Raspberry Pi runs operating systems like Debian, Fedora, and Arch Linux and can also run Android. More information is available on its FAQ and wiki pages, and it has general purpose input/output pins for interfacing with electronics.
