Re: Raspberry PI

1. Yes, there is *no* vga output..
(there is another card http://apc.io/ - which looks to be a similar price -
but comes with vga and onboard flash - I've not got one/ordered one but it
might work for you)

2. Yes - except they call it DVI :)
(you need a 'special' cable or adapter - but thats hows i'm running it)

3. I wouldn't - but you can use an external harddrive - or connect to a
remote database.
Bear in mind - this thing is fairly low on the ye olde bogomips - so
wouldn't be any good for anything especially cpu or memory intensive
anyway..


FWIW - if anyone wants access to the pi to experiment on - just give me a
shout :)
