Finally I decided to order a second Raspberry Pi from Farnell.
RS Components said I would have the item in 12 weeks, and Farnell said that 5 weeks. Let’s compare the two providers in (I hope) several weeks from now. I’ll take pictures of packages and everything in the boxes.
I can add another project:
– Raspberry Pi high availability cluster.
I have several projects for my next computer (Raspberry Pi):
– DLNA server for my living room. I already have an OpenSuSE based DLNA server, but it is a x86 PC that consumes a lot of power, and electricity is getting higher everyday, so I need a greener thing. I think Raspberry Pi will have enough speed to serve files through DLNA.
– Web browser connected to the TV set, so I can rent movies or browse YouTube. This is very ambitious from a computing power point of view, because of the 700MHz of the Raspberry Pi. I’ve heard of overclocking and warranty voiding…
– Ultragreen web server connected all day long.
– Irrigation controller, using the GPIO as an input/output interface to moisture sensors, relays, etc, so I can have all my plants happy all along the year.
If I only had more time…
I have just ordered my Raspberry Pi Model B from RS. I’ll have it at home in 12 weeks according to them.
