One of the reasons I feel this idea hasn't exactly taken off is due to the fact the largest expense to playing on an Everquest Emulator, is the client laptop or computer itself. Because we can setup the emulator on that same device and then run it locally we literally don't need to spend a dime on additional hardware. I currently run my server on a micro PC with a Corei7 processor and 64GB's of Ram and SSD. It's tiny, but it is a bit pricey. The Rasberry Pi argument is all about the hobby of it and seeing if it can be done. I have a couple units in stock, so I may start dabbling in it, but it's important to allow the emulator to run as it does today, or you risk needing to do a lot of development. So the first hurdle is how to run Native Linux on a Rasberry Pi? I know esxi has been setup on a Pi before, and that could simplify things.
