¿Why RPi?

I've never been a great fan of embedding world. But Raspberry Pi changed that, It's not all about pricing (besides 35$ is quite cheap). RPi has momentum, has community even when it's not released yet, and supports my favourite distro,  Debian.

So, take a tour over the forums. RPi can be used for coding, as media center/player, download center,  and why not, even for gaming. Applications are endless.
