This site is served up by a mighty Raspberry Pi II

For more information about the Raspberry Pi see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

Running GNU/Linux on ARM - specifically, Diet-Pi https://dietpi.com and the LigHTTPd web server daemon https://www.lighttpd.net

Of course none of this would have happened without GNU and the FSF

You might also find this docudrama has some relevance too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXBxV6-zamM

Here are the system stats if you are interested http://www.cpcnw.co.uk/sysinfo/sysinfo.htm

Costings for the above build are as follows;

  • Plastic Case £5.29
  • MicroSD Card £9.66
  • Raspberry Pi II £29.93
  • UK Mains Plugin PSU £6
  • Chipset Heat Sink Kit £3.50
  • Sandisk Memory Vault 8GB £6.49

Total Cost £60.87

Edit: Have since replaced the Sandisk Memory Vault as it has inbuilt write limits. Instead I have installed the following;

sdsa6am-016g-1006-lg.jpg SDSA6AM-016G-1006 SanDisk U110 16GB MLC SATA 6Gbps Half-Slim SATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Bought two brand new off http://www.ebay.co.uk for cheap. The prices have all gone up now.

They have a rated MTBF of 2000000 Hour(s) which equates to 228 years. Should see me out I reckon…

I have also replaced the plastic case with a metal case which has vents etc and improved cooling.
