So nobody here runs their Synchronet BBS on the Raspberry Pi? Nobody other than Art?

It's a very small investment, and quite a bit of fun. It's like being a computer pioneer all over again. Only this time you get about 10 different OS's to choose from.

Buying now.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Pi-sized monitor? I'd like to hook it up to a small LCD and a space-saver USB keyboard.

if you go small or go with a usb interface, you're gonna pay a lot. it's better to just drop money on a regular lcd display.

I run mine headless, so I don't use a monitor, nor a keyboard. But that
being said, I do use a space-saver keyboard on my other PC's. Unfortunately
I can't give you the brand. I did get it at frys tho.

Oh, I know it. Even that tiny investment is more than I can afford right now, though. I'm without a permanent place to stay, without income, and I'm a single parent. Although yesterday I was told that I will be joining a venture with an independent contractor, whose word I have no reason to doubt, on a project that will be providing income very soon. I just have to learn Ruby on Rails ASAP. :)

I have 2 of them now. I had to get a second one. There is so much you can do with the little buggers that I needed one to play with and one to keep an active setup on. I had Syncrhonet installed on my first Pi months ago, but I couldn't keep it up since I was always tinkering with the damn thing.

I have absolutely got to get one of those. Homelessness is preparing to strike me once again, and I'm not going to be able to take my infrastructure with me where I'm going this time. The best I might be able to do is connecting to a Pi for my work.

Yeah, with everything that I've heard about them being used for I'm pretty sure I could put a half a dozen of them to work if I had enough time and initiative. The problem has been, since they were introduced to the market, my lack of funding as a college student and single parent. Now, however, I'm in a new city and employment prospects are looking pretty good. I'm eager to get my first paycheck so I can get a start and checking these guys out. ;)
