for those curious to dive into it, that is my advice just dive into it , the tutorials and documentation is great to be up in less than 10 mins
you can even buy a pre-loaded SD card so you dont have to download anything . People have been booting various types of OS but Raspian (linux) seems to be the most friendly. It is a nice full windows OS with a browser and even office type apps ,
the fun part is making it do something for you beyond a normal computer , most common things
-media center (plug in a USB HD and let it manage your videos a la windows media center ) this is built in so no programming needed to set this up
- web server , I installed a LAMP stack and can host a site on it
- popular one is make an arcade cabinet and run ROMs on it
- there is a Camera module so you can do a low cost security system
- with Twitter API , Python and Twython you can build a twitter bot follow mine here ->
all kinds of things you can think of , the graphics card is comparable to a PS2 so you can build your own Arcade out of it if you wanted with a UNITY 3D build
