Asking what is a raspberry pi? then go to
http://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/

Current QGIS 2.2 but working on updating to QGIS 2.8.1
Call this testing...
Hardware:

see
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/116320/how-to-install-gdal-and-qgis-on-a-raspberry-pi
note QGIS is much faster on raspberry pi 2
Why is this so important?
This can be a very cheap way to get GIS into schools across the world.
Cost $35 raspberry pi
with keyboard,mouse
cables HDMI, Cat5 Ethernet and SD card.
**Tested headless (no mouse or keyboard after install) using normal remote desktop on a laptop running windows 8.1 on a local network (gigabyte LAN)- remote desktop works fine with wifi (g/n)
Working on speeding up processing, load time...etc.
