http://www.raspberrypi.org/Has anyone gotten one of these yet. I realize they just came out. I have one on order and it should be here in a couple of weeks.
The first one will be turned into a torrent / media server. That should be fairly easy. I'll probably just install Fedora Linux on it (it only runs Linux).
Eventually though, I'd like to make a portable machine that has an audio input and you can control via a remote desktop on my smart phone that I can use to stream shows. It's USB powered, so power isn't an issue. Getting the internet hooked up to it shouldn't be too hard.
Things I need to figure out:
1. Remote Desktop. Not sure if an app for Android exists to remote desktop onto the Raspberry Pi. If it doesn't, I'm sure with this little device someone will make a way.
2. Audio input. The way it comes now, it only has audio out. It does have a USB input, so I could get a USB audio interface for it. I'd like it to be fairly small (around the same size at the computer case would be ideal...then I need to get one that actually works with Linux. It seems what I've found so far is Windoz/Mac only, but that may just be what they officially support. Obviously it's fairly common for people to make unofficial Linux drivers.
3. Wireless Network connection. I'd be either hooking up to a venue's interweb connection, or use my phone's hotspot. No idea if this exists either. Hoping I can find a USB solution here as well.
I may be in over my head...but that's part of what make's it fun.
