From YouTube: C* Summit 2013: Hardware Agnostic - Cassandra on Raspberry Pi

Description

Speaker: Andy Cobley, Lecturer at University of Dundee
Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/planetcassandra/5-andy-cobley-raspberry-pi
The raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized $25 ARM based linux box designed to teach children the basics of programming. The machine comes with a 700MHz ARM and 512Mb of memory and boots off a SD card, not much power for running the likes of a Cassandra cluster. This presentation will discuss the problems of getting Cassandra up and running on the Pi and will answer the all important question: Why on Earth would you want to do this!?
