What's Your Pi Plan??

Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi!

Just curious about what people were planning on using their Raspberry Pi's for once they started getting them!??

Current plan- SFF Media PC / NAS etc mounted onto the VESA on the back of my TV

Later plan- Replace car stereo etc with RPi

Probably not the most origional use there but still, godda start somewhere!

I'm looking to use this to replace a laptop that I'm using to run a specific Java app. The app, called J/MRI is used to control and setup various parameters of the DCC components in model trains. At this point, I have a traveling system that I carry around to exhibitions and use to setup peoples' models. The laptop, being a laptop, is portable, and I'm always worried that it may grow legs and walk. The Pi could be built into my travel case fairly easily, along with a small keyboard, mouse and a little monitor. At least, that's the thought.

Interesting idea, I've been wondering about Java, too. I'm concerned the architecture and RAM might be a problem.

It seems like a lot of the knowledge about Raspberry Pi is in their forum which unfortunately is still down (due to the launch). I did find this in Google cache:
