Not only that but recoverability. I use the Pi as a media server (files hosting on a NAS drive) and if the Pi dies, I drop $40, swap out the SD card and I'm done.

I have the SD card imaged and saved elsewhere so if the card dies, I just get another, re-image and plug it in.

Can't do that with a Mac Mini (what I was using)

Can't imagine what it's gonna be when we'll be able to print rpis~ at home for 5$.

Can you give some details on what you imaged to the SD?
