Hello Tina and Friends,

just to let you all know that last night myself and brother installed mySQL
on the raspberry Pi.

I then created a customers table and inserted 1M records into it, I then
ran queries against it and all worked well.

It was slower than my overclocked i7, but it is quieter also!

We then installed apache and browsed to it - a raspberry as a web server.

Then Stephen installed squid and I set it as my proxy server and it was
proxying all my traffic.

At one point, I had three terminal sessions open, running a group by query,
it was proxying live traffic and all without a hiccup.

It is not great running it's browser, that is very slow.  Stephen also
installed Chromium and that was no better.  In fact, with browsers and
youtube open, we had to poweroff because it became too slow to use.

It has some educational programming software, but I have not looked at that
yet.

I have to say, it is a wonderful device.

Mark
