Hi folks!

Ed, Raspberry-Pi has more RAM, almost same CPU clock and no HDD at all
and people use it :)

Since it already in HEAD I would prefer to left it here for some time.
So other will be able to use it as example. But even for that better to
know if it works, to not waste time of users or hackers who will try to
use it. :)

Thanks!
