Consumes a small fraction the power of a PC (that would be one reason) or ju for the fun of it. <shrug>

Not to mention the fact that you can carry around just an SD card,
and maybe some sort of solar contraption for power generation along with a small waterproofed battery pack for power storage, and you have a
stealth-unit that can be easily hooked up at any remote communications
tapping point with minimal ease of installation and no maintenance
required so far as you have the updating security repositories ensured and written in stone. :) It's great for ensuring constant service, as long
as you've got a soldier in the field that knows what copper or fiber to be looking for with a few of these deployable suckers in hand. They can also
be running a concurrent tor relay with obfuscated bridge in order to
ensure an encrypted infrastructure exists for communications with the
outside world, although limited in bandwidth due to processing
capabilities, so long as general backbone connectivity is ensured. Some magnetic shielding for any EMP occurances would probbably be a good idea, though. ;)

No to knock the Pi, cuz I have one myself, but my android smartphone has more power and is much more mobile than the PI can be.

That smartphone also costs quite a bit more than the pi. :P

Oh, absolutely. It's just that the hardware and RFID based NSA snooping hardware that is active from passive power even when your battery
is dead and can upload any and all encrypted or plaintext data that you
have to the NSA's servers for analysis kind of bugs me. But yeah, if I
wanted to do cellular access or access plugged into a USB cable for a
mobile system with this stuff I'd use the same. Plus they work
wonderfully for sniffing and doing the cracking process on encrypted
wireless networks. ;)

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. ;)
