I've had this rPi for a while now and I haven't done much with it other than exercise a monitor. But lately I have learned how to log in remotely from a PC, do file transfers between the two and have been talking to an embedded target running Forth so that I can program it.
This is all working well and I am rather happy with it. I guess the part I am happiest with is that I have reached a point where I know enough to be able to use various web pages as resources to learn what I want to do. Most recently I was able to figure out how to install Libre Office on the pi. My first attempt was to go to their web site and found no installation for the pi. But when I did a little searching I found that it installs with just the old "sudo apt-get install libreoffice", duh!
In a way this is taking me back to the old 286 I had that I learned to program on.
