[olug] [OT, sorta] Raspberry Pi

[Ben Watson]

These would make awesome very low power (a few Watts) MythTV
frontends.  I'm particularly interested in the "gertboard" mentioned
on the site for digital/analog i/o.  Could make for some nice home
automation applications and would probably be as cheap (if not
cheaper) than X10-based gear.
