[Koha] Raspberry Pi, short summary

[King, Fred]

Hello everybody,

Just a quick summary-several people came in yesterday with reference questions, so I have to put on my medical librarian hat for a while.

Most people who have commented on list or directly think that a low-cost (used) desktop or a hosted system such as Digital Ocean or Crown Cloud would be better way to run Koha than a Raspberry Pi-either would provide a faster system at a comparable price. I do think the Raspberry Pi has great promise, but not quite yet. In the meantime, here's another idea for a digital sign using a Raspberry Pi: http://somerset.lib.nj.us/rpisign.htm.

And if you're wondering about my cat, we think he's probably a Turkish Angora. He's deaf, can produce the longest and loudest meows I've ever heard from a cat, and adorable.

Thanks for an interesting discussion.

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.
