raspberry pi portable computer

[samuelzz10]

Hey guys, I'm working on a miniature computer with lego casing, made using a raspberry pi. THE GOAL: Build an extremely small computer (A little bigger than the first gameboy) with usb slots, a cell-phone like keyboard, and a tiny monitor. (ALSO: a battery slot and a solar panel, the latter of which I can already find.) I was wondering if anybody could give me pointers of where to find these certain parts at a reasonable price. Thanks.

How do you buy a small screen that just automajikally displays from a TV connection?
Wouldnt there need to be some hardware between the two?

There are newer and better successors to the Raspberry Pi like https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXi ... OLinuXino/ but I guess that doesn't really matter for this application. Doesn't the raspberry Pi already have 2 USBs? If not, the Olinuxino has 3

Here is a very small and gameboy-advance like resolution monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Support-R ... ef=lh_ni_t , according to the internet Raspberry Pi users have managed to get the two to work together.

what's the best linux os?

[Keldoclock]

Depending on what you're trying to do with it, I suppose. You probably want to dig around a bit and maybe ask questions on linux forums. I like http://www.ubuntu.com/ myself, it's what I have experience with.

Here's a good reference when looking to make a computer pie:

A few times now I have made combination apple and blackberry pies.

My grandmother would occasionally throw some raisins in an apple pie, very nice.
Once they used gooseberries they had picked. Never had gooseberries before, they have a very distinctive flavor.

please do not derail this thread. I would really appreciate it.

I like pie.

For some reason I remembered this incorrectly, and he was stealing pies. That would have made it more relevant to the thread, but screw it... I was trying to hijack it anyway. Just imagine Luthor hijacking forty Advice threads.

guys, you're turning this into a meme thread!
