[Freedombox-discuss] Raspberry Pi 2

[Darren Jones]

Hi,

 I Don’t normally post to the list, just usually read with interest, but that’s FUD, The raspberry PI foundation, was created to put small cheap computers in peoples hands to hack around with, built cheaply and as far as possible with open hardware, and have shifted over 4million PI’s so far.  do you really want to ignore such a popular hardware platfform, because you think ‘something; might happen, with no evidence to back up your claim, and contrary to the RPI foundations aims

Wow

my 2p worth
