Digital Signage using the Pi?

[JaiSingh]

Hi all,

I have only just acquired my Raspberry Pi today! and am wondering if it can be used to power digital signage using an LCD screen. What I require is the ability to have scrolling text, images in a slideshow and also video playback from news sites. I know this is a big ask, but I am curious as to what this great device can do.

I currently have a Wifi Dongle, Case, Power Supply and a 8gb Memory Card. This is what we currently use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMiU9ry344

thank you in advance!

Do a search in the forum, this has been covered quite a lot, and there are several solutions.
