Ask HN: Suggest me a Utilite like linux computer for free giveaway to kids

3 pointsumrashrf3 comments

I know some kids I want to give Linux running computer for them to learn programming. I was looking into Utilite but that's not yet released. Is there something like it already? Also Utilite will be out of budget if I am going to buy few of them. What would you suggest?

Raspberry Pi

I think this is not much resourceful. I am sure they are not going to just use it to learn programming. They would use it for browsing and basic stuff you know.

The Raspberry Pi can do web browsing and other things you'd expect a basic computer to do. It's nowhere near the fastest, but it works to some extent.
