The class got to use the computer for a week or so before it rotated through to the next class of kids. I got to play with a drawing program called Turtle and I gotten the hang of the program and made the best picture out of the class according to my teacher.

I ordered them the day after they were announced and they got to me about 3 weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite impressed with these little boards. I have them running Raspian, which is an ARM-port of Debian. If you logged in to one, you wouldn&#8217;t know the difference between the Raspberry and any other Debian-based system unless you ran a uname -a and saw the unfamiliar architecture:<\/p>\n<p>Linux &lt;hostname&gt; 3.18.7-v7+ #755 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 12 17:20:48 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU\/Linux<\/p>\n<p>I am using them as full Linux systems, hosting DNS services (both caching and authoritative) \u00a0and some experimental web server stuff. I am also using one as a simple file server, hosting as a &#8220;head&#8221; to my NAS for my other systems to run backups to via scp.<\/p>\n<p>My goal is to use one of them to provide some home-automation type stuff, such as basement water detection, temperature monitoring, furnace and A\/C control, etc. I also want to use one to help automate my home-brewing of fine ales.<\/p>\n<p>Keep up the good work guys.
