Hi Mark, Gustavo, Theodore, Aaron, and Steve, Thank all of you for informing me of the differences. The Pi is an apple and the DE1 is an Orange 8-). Wish I had an older DE1 8_(. I have a PI that I will have be content to play Linux on I guess. If anyone has or knows of an older DE1 they would be willing to part with or is available, I'm interested. TIA
