| Jul 9, 2013 at 14:47 | comment | added | Nathan C | @Alex The environment matters. You wouldn't want a "hobbyist" in your datacenter now, would you? | |
| Jul 8, 2013 at 13:30 | comment | added | Alex | I know they are not using Raspberry Pis, but they are using non-server grade equipment in clusters. And that would be tagged "hobbyist". | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 23:02 | comment | added | Stefan Lasiewski | Google doesn't use Raspberry Pis. They use HPC & cluster-style hardware, which is on topic here. | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 18:12 | comment | added | Alex | It's kind of funny. By these standards, Google are using "hobbyist" servers as their main (and only ASAIK) server setup. | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 19:32 | comment | added | Nathan C | An SE site already exists. Is there really any other reason? | |
| Jul 1, 2013 at 23:12 | comment | added | nedm | Agree with @Stefan -- it's not a toy unless you're using it as a toy. Personally I'd rather answer a question about an RPi than an old beige box. Directing folks to RPI.SE is reasonable, but keep in mind just because you're a "professional" doesn't mean you have a "budget" :) | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 23:43 | comment | added | Stefan Lasiewski | I have actually considered a Raspberry Pis being used for several settings in the data-center: a PXE server, a Terminal server, SSH gateway, on the crash cart, etc. However, most questions for the Pi will be in the hobbyist-sense. | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 6:11 | comment | added | user9517 | @Jacob: 'was' presumably being the operative word. | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 21:21 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @Jacob I'd put that in the "You might use it in production, but you should have the necessary skills" category. I know a few sites that use them as interfaces to SCADA systems (they make wonderful SNMP gateways), but the cracked-out EEs wiring them together would never dream of asking for help -- just another Pi to blow up in prototyping please :-) | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 18:28 | comment | added | Jacob | @Ward No this was a professional. :) | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 18:26 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | @Jacob But we all know what sort of crowd you hang out with... | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 18:12 | comment | added | Jacob | I know someone who used the Pi as a PXE server | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 16:32 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | Agreed. There are limited cases where you might use a Raspberry Pi in a production environment, but frankly if you're doing so you need to have the skills to accomplish your goal without needing to ask the internet for help, or you're just setting yourself up for failure. (and if you do need help, Raspberry Pi is a very healthy beta site and the appropriate place to ask.) | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 7:39 | comment | added | tombull89 | Indeed - as we've got a RPI.SE questions should be asked there. | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 2:51 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Not to mention they can always ask these questions on SU or RPI.SE. | |
