Do we have any Raspberry PI user here

I'm thinking of buying one and using a thumb drive and make me a low cost computer. Anyone here have any experience with one. Mostly just for shits and grins

My computer now is a 2000 model 4700 dell dimension that just won't seem to die.

One I set up as a NAS with some attached drives, one is my media server (which uses that NAS) and one will eventually be my home automation system once I get off my ass and program it.

It's not incredibly fast, but still pretty impressive for what it is. Will definitely serve my needs/wants very well.
