[Nottingham] Single board computers.

[Neal Ponton]

It sounds obvious, but I think the RasPi helped me a good deal to learn ssh 
and basic security/firewalling on a DMZ. 
The fact that the whole OS can be dd'ed afresh in a couple of minutes was a 
real bonus for when I sodded something up, too. Props to the Raspbian 
development team. 
This is also my handiwork:

I've taken it apart and restored to normal, now, because I got cold feet with 
regards health and safety legislation. 

I should add that when I recorded that video I had no external Internet, so 
there's no need to lecture me about sloppy use of plaintext password on ssh! 
:-)
