I have a Pi that's found a purpose in life as a remote smokeping sensor and
related network monitoring, a task it does quite nicely.

Note that they just released the Pi 2, which goes from the original single-core
ARM V6 to a quad-core ARM V7, and increases memory from 256M to1G. All at the
same price point.  That may change the calculus. I admit not having gotten one
in hand to play with yet.
