[PLUG] PLUG W: In the Beginning was the Command Line

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

PLUG W had a well attended and very cool "Raspberry Pi" preso by Jason 
Plum (not Steven Shim as listed), thanks Jason!  I was checking out the 
Adafruit starter pack for ideas, but I already have a lot of that stuff, 
so I'll probably do an alacart thing.

Also, someone was talking about doing a Kiosk kind of thing with a Pi. 
This might be handy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_WebKiosk 
(found under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Operating_systems)


At dinner after the talk, I had mentioned "In the Beginning was the 
Command Line" was was drawing a blank on the author, Neal Stephenson. 
Duh...

Anyway, for any Linux, CLI and/or power tool fan, you must go read (or 
re-read) this.  You will be on the floor, hysterical.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
