[ale] Raspberry Pi

[Matthew]

2 things to consider. 1st support, or lack thereof, when it comes to
setting it up. You may run into issues that you are not expecting, and
if you can not solve in a fast enough fashion, you will get blame for
it. And it there will be a poor opinion about it for a long time. I
had an employee for a company tell me, that her web apps didn't work
after we switched from windows to linux, so I skinned kde to look like
Win7 before it came out, and told her it was windows. She said, oh it
works much better now.... She had no idea, I had just changed the
desktop. 2nd, which goes with the 1st is people's willingness to
adopt. People will say X is bad and horrible, they just want to get
their way, and apple is shiny, and expensive, so they equate it to be
better.

Just my 2 cents.
