Re: Raspberry Pi in HA?

[Jon Wilkins <jonpdwilkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also interested.
Also likely to use to for 1-wire type stuff (though more likely will be
collation of 1-wire collected data from a bunch of Nanodes & onwards
pushing of said data elsewhere -- a task currently assigned to a linux VM
on my ESX server....).

Something I couldn't see on the website is the expected power draw of the
RaspPi.  Hopefully given the severe level of integration and lack of moving
parts it's going to be quite low (though unlikely it'll be lower than the
incremental cost of +1 VM on my esx box....)

Anyone wanna sweepstack on how many days till Hack-a-day have a story on a
50-node Raspberry Pi cluster?
