What is benefit of buying a Pi rather than Linux Partition.

KeithSloan

I would like to read people thoughts on the benefits of buying a Rasberry Pi rather than just installing Linux in a partition on the family PC and dual booting.

  • If you have to ask why, then there is a very good chance the Pi is not for you. 

     

    If you are interested in writting CPU intensive memory hogging apps, then the Pi is certainly not for you.

     

    One of the intended uses for the Pi is in classrooms where they cannot afford to buy full blown computers for each student.

     

    If you like to tinker and build projects, maybe taking advantage of some of the GPIO pins (try that on your PC), then the Pi is absolutely for you.

     

    I just can't wait to see all the different projects people com up with to embed their Pi's in !
