[Koha] Raspberry Pi

[King, Fred]

Yep, I should have checked the wiki first. But I'm a librarian--do you really expect me to do research? :-)

But seriously, someday when I have the time, I'm going to give it a try, too. If our library does more than 100 circulations in a month, that's huge. We catalog maybe 100 books per year. I don't think our server even notices that it's running anything. It just might work, and I find it an intriguing idea. I just need to keep the SD chip away from our dog--he could swallow it in an instant. Good thing he's out of the chewing stage.

It makes sense that children, whose brains are rapidly developing, should not be hitting their heads over and over again.

Sometimes research is mostly documenting the obvious.

But beware that this was done 3 years ago with the very first version of the Raspberry Pi. The recent one has much better CPU and RAM, and you should be able to just install a regular Raspian image and then use http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian

With Plack support out of the box, it could work ok for a small library. Trying it with the latest Raspi and doing some benchmarks has been on my list for a while now, but I have a lot of other things to do.
