Re: [OT] Mathematica free for Raspberry PI Message #10 Posted by Chris Pem10 on 22 Nov 2013, 1:44 p.m., in response to message #9 by CR Haeger
The Pi is $35. You'll need a monitor capable of HDMI input, a usb keyboard and mouse, and a 4Gb SD card (and an Ethernet cable). And a way to power the Pi via micro-usb 5V.
I don't know if Wolfram has locked it down to Raspberry Pi only... but there are certainly much faster arm platforms available...
I have full instructions on how to do all of this for free, via QEmu emulation in Ubuntu 13.10; but emulation is very, very slow. Just send an email.
Bonus: Turn you raspberry pi into a touchscreen mobile device... like the DukePAD and run Mathematica:

Not yet cost-effective... but give it two years and something equivalent will be for sale in the gas station checkout line for 20 bucks.
This time next year you'll probably see Mathematica 10 for sale in the Google Apps Store.
