I just wanted to post this to make people aware it is available. I have been researching a bit on the Raspberry Pi. For those that don't know it is a super cheap computer that is being used in many projects. One of those projects is the Onion Pi. It is a modified Raspberry Pi that is set up with Tor, made to be used for anonymity. You set it up on your network and it creates a second network that is anonymous behind Tor. So with it any computer, tablet, phone can surf anonymously behind the Onion Pi without Tor being set up on the device itself.
Here is a link for the Onion Pi ($95) http://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi/overview
Here is a link for the Raspberry Pi home page http://www.raspberrypi.org/
I just noticed when copying this link that the same company who made the Onion Pi has made a Bitcoin miner using the Raspberry Pi. Very cool.
Here is a link to a good kit including the Raspberry Pi, a case, a USB Power Supply, the OS preloaded on a SD card, and a HDMI cable ($69.95) This seems like a great deal and I plan to get one.

Oh, HELL yea!
I'm a fan of the Raspberry Pi, and loved looking at the projects involving them about a year ago. I hadn't heard of the Onion Pi... thanx for the heads up. Gotta get me one of them!

That's what I was gonna say Saul. I thought they were only $25 or $35 depending if you bought the A or B model.

A million thanks lawnmower!

Raspberry Pi is the shat :) I made my own packman table with it... If you buy one and aren't too experienced, you can just look up projects online and they have all the program downloads, descriptions, pics, ect of how to do everything. It's prettty fun and gives you some good info!

The Raspberry Pi is only $25 or $35. I was bringing attention to the Onion Pi which is $95. The other price I mentioned is for a kit. It includes the computer, a case, a usb power supply, the operating system preloaded on a SD card, and a HDMI cable. The $25 or $35 Pi's are the computer alone, not even in a case.
