I just heard about this thing called raspberry pi. It's a credit-sized computer made by raspberry pi foundation.
I heard of many projects you can do with this. There are sites with top 10 things you can do with the computer etc.
What makes this computer special which allows us to do so many things with it? Lastly, what all can you do with it?

I got one as a gift, still don't have any ideas besides a server.
