[Xastir] Raspberry Pi

[Doug Fredericks]

Yes on the Raspbian distro.  Did not have a chance to really work with it.
 Basically just got it up on the screen, did some basic setup, then shut it
down.  Hoping to get more into it in a week or so.

By the way if anyone wants to get their hands on a pi, I can send you an
extra I have for cost ($35 plus shipping).  I guess I should say US only to
avoid shipping problems.  I'm assuming they are still back-order items,
although they must be getting close to a million units produced by now.
