With free Khan Academy Computer Science lessons I think this could be brilliant for kids interested in coding/software development.
I think most people want them for a cheapo media centre. I also do, but I want another to mess around with.
I don't know why everyone raves about Khan Academy, it's just not that good for sciences. There's a lot of content there, but most of it is a very low level and when you look at the topics, it doesn't really go into that much detail. It's not bad for finance stuff though, lots of good explanations of the weird things people trade.
If you actually want to learn about programming, I'd suggest Stanford Edu - take the Programming Methodologies course: http://see.stanford.edu/see/coursein...a-866adcae1111.

My broadband speed - 750 Meganibbles/minute
Got mine ordered, with a case from modmypi, already got a super speedy 8GB SanDisk SD card for it too (one of their 30MB/s Ultra things) which should be enough to keep up with that ARM CPU.
No idea what to do with it yet though, I already have a Media Server/PC in the living room with all my TV cards etc in and a small ITX machine in the bedroom, we watch a lot of iPlayer and downloaded content so a Windows Media Centre does it all so easily, Live TV pause, DVD, Blu-Ray Web, Catch up etc. And it works, not gonna beat that with a Pi... except on power draw, but my current stuff is already pretty low power.
I suppose the slightly shonky PogoPlug with Linux on could do with an update, never really worked that well... I use that for small server duties that require little in the way of processing power... but it seems like the Pi could do more... hmmmm I suppose it could do things the Pogo never could...
I'm waiting for mine!
I assume those three Linux operating system are incredibly efficient to be able to run on hardware of that kind. Am I correct in thinking so? I have only played around with Ubuntu and Mint but if these run like magic, then I am definitely interested next time I dabble with Linux.Originally Posted by Mark Tyson
