Yeah. We really need to find something "commercial" like the GuruPlug,
but that doesn't take a Linux hacker to set up. The Raspberry Pi is
neat, but I didn't see it as a "real thing" until I ordered an $8 case
to put it in -- before it was just some open circuit board with wires
coming off of it. I am sure there is something out there -- if they can
do a Pi for $25-$35, someone is bound to make something for $50 that is
packaged and ready. BUT, it also needs to have the support so it can be
updated and such.
========================
Well, the Pi with a case for $45 sounds good! But there are others, like
the UG802:
