[GLLUG] Raspberry Pi, An ARM Linux box for $25. Take a byte!

They need a dual gb ethernet version.

Getting closer and closer to the ability to build your own router for 
under about the same price you can buy one.. And then put freebsd on it.

It's very cheap, but what do I need HDMI for?
Am I lead to believe this can decode high def video?
