I thought it would be fun to mess about with the raspberry pi.
I bought a pi, breadboard, resistors, capacitors, led lights and a bunch of wires to start mucking about with the raspberry GPIO.
Installing Raspbian on the pi was easy (I did an Arch image as well).
I think the Raspbian is a more friendly little distro but Arch was easy to setup with only the stuff that I needed.
Adafruit has a cool little adapter to use microSD cards on the Pi and not have it stick out like the SD cards "Low-profile microSD card adapter for Raspberry Pi"
The 2 OS installs both include /dev/net/tun device so I may set up a VPN to one that I can play with as well.
