True, but it's still fun to say you configured it yourself, and it's a bit more customizable than a smartphone.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;34228375] If you're interested in using the Pi for headless purposes, check out what this guy did with a tiny, cheap TP-Link router: [url]http://www.minipwner.com/index.php/what-is-the-minipwner[/url] It has Gigabit Ethernet, Wifi N, OpenWRT compatible, serial header, one USB port and it's powered by MicroUSB. With the battery pack he bought, it gets about five hours of usage. It might be possible to use it as a very light webserver or some sort of NAS device with some firmware modifications.[/QUOTE] Eh, 32MB of RAM is a little bit too less for me. Though it's most likely suitable for some purposes. Reminds me of the [URL="http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/WL330gE/#specifications"]Asus WL-330gE[/URL] router
Anyone know if this will be able to play CS1.6? This is important.

Why the fuck don't you people understand? This is ARM architecture processor, it will not run WINDOWS applications, nor will it run game servers, those are all built on x86 or x64, it will [b]not[/b] run those.
I'm gonna buy 5. 2 For some UT99 servers Home servers and web hosting. Feels good man. [editline]15th January 2012[/editline] Yes it will run UT99 with 20 players on. Very smoothly as-well.

For $170, you could pickup a decent second-hand desktop PC.

At $25 i want one just because
I told my uncle about the pi and how people are wanting to make tiny server farms out of them, an he said "it would be more like a server window garden."

[QUOTE=notlabbet;34230820]How many games out there are open source? Is there a super helpful list?[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_video_games[/url]
Please note that being open-source does not magically make it so you can run the game on ARM. And being closed-source does not magically mean it cannot be run on ARM. In most cases it does, because why would the developer waste time porting it to ARM, but some programs may have an ARM version available, games usually do not.
