No idea what you're on about. My Pi's play full HD video without paying for any extra codecs/drivers. There are additional codecs you can purchase but for playing HD you don't need them. >OK NAS4Free is a good and simple project to make a little NAS with some >complementary features, out of a RPi or an ODROID.

You can forget it! >The RPi2 with Ubuntu Mate is slower than my P III 800MHz 512MB RAM (Dell >GX110) running Mageia... OK wrong example... Perhaps. The Pi wasn't really designed as a desktop replacement, although I know some people who are succesfully using it as just that. It's a little stand-alone computer capable of doing what's neccessarry to allow what it was designed for - to teach software/program development. Everything else is a bonus. >Another way to make it usefull: CUPS printserver, SaneD scanning server. I'm using them to control ovens, fridges, laser cutters and I've helped others to use them to control robots, cars, helicopters, telephone systems, home automation, chicken farm automation (100,000 chickens) Limited only by your imagination.
