I am thinking about buying a $35 Raspberry Pi model B+, it has 512MB of RAM, 4 usb ports and an ethernet port.

There is also a stripped down version with 256MB of RAM. http://www.raspi.today/raspberry-pi-model-a-plus-out-now/
The model A+ has only 1 usb port and no ethernet, so it would additionally need a usb hub and a usb Wi-Fi dongle.
Does the model A have enough memory to run NEM?

I think 512MB is more suitable. I believe the RAM footprint for NIS is 512MB to run properly. 1GB would be good though but I believe 512MB is the max.

Maybe Banana Pi is a better bet. It has 1GB RAM.

I very much would like to get some Pi's myself to help support the network. Sadly i don't know the first thing about setting it up - anyone fancy writing a tutorial on the nem forums? Prwetty pwease?
