Raspberry Pi was first launched on 29 February 2012 in the UK and it was received with a huge amount of enthusiasm by students and researchers alike. The Pi has had quite an eventful year, with researchers building a Raspberry Pi cluster; release of an official turbo mode patch; a 512 MB RAM upgrade; the launch of a Pi Store; sales of over a million units; and release of the Minecraft Pocket Edition."

I just got my little Pi less than two weeks ago and it also does what I want.
Serves as a web server / home server connected to an external HDD.
Web server being more for testing stuff and sharing with friends so it can handle the load.
Old solution was a Core 2 Duo. Noisy and eating more energy.
So far I'm happy and might buy another to see more of what it can do.

So don't see the Pi as just another computer like your desktop or your laptop.
