The models we are working now are Raspberry Pi 2. A Raspberry Pi 2 is a small computer, with a 4 cores processor 900 Mhz, 1 GB Ram.
It runs Linux, so basically everything that has been ported to Debian for ARM v.7 is available.
We have configured a Debian Linux that runs LXDE, and these are some things we have done:
- Browse Internet, with GUI epiphany browser
- Browse Internet, with lynx text-command browser
- Download repos with git
- Program PHP with PhpStorm
- Program with vi, emacs…
