[Bradford] Bigger than a Pi

[Brian]

I now have 2 Pi. One is PBX (256MB memory). On the other, which has 512MB of memory, I'm experimenting with 'OwnCloud' and other services. On an EeePC I have Skype interfaced to my Pi PBX and it also runs an Amahi server and, along with that comes a free equivalent to DynDNS and OpenVPN.

I have seen at least one other example of Pi-like devices but they are still to be commercialised. We know how long it took the Pi to get to market so it might be a while yet before anything emerges at a similar price point.

Hi,

There's been a couple of nice Raspberry Pi like devices come out
recently that people might be interested in, both higher-powered and
so much more useful.

The Parallella has lots of extra cores available to it, and is
designed for massively parallel processing.

The Cubieboard is more like a Raspberry Pi but higher powered, and is
still open for funding. http://www.indiegogo.com/cubieboard

Also, if you have a Raspberry Pi and don't know what to do with it
then there's always the option of free colocation in Austria:
http://www.edis.at/en/server/colocation/austria/raspberrypi/  In fact
I'm almost tempted to buy a Pi just to get a nice shell account to use
(anybody got one they want to sell cheaply?)

Regards
Alice

PS. I've not promised I'll give a talk on Wednesday have I?
