What is a Raspberry Pi?

A Raspberry Pi is a small, low-cost computer designed to promote computer science education and experimentation. It was first released in 2012 by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK-based charity organization that aims to teach people of all ages how to program and build computers.

The Raspberry Pi is about the size of a credit card and comes with a range of input/output ports, such as USB, HDMI, and Ethernet, as well as built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It runs on a version of the Linux operating system and can be used for a wide range of applications, including home automation, media centers, and robotics.

Due to its low cost and versatility, the Raspberry Pi has become a popular choice for hobbyists and professionals alike for various projects, including running low-power servers, hosting websites, and even as a platform for running Holochain nodes.
