[lug] free pi

[Michael J. Hammel]

Hi Bethany (and anyone else who might be interested).  I build a custom
Linux distribution for Pi's called PiBox.   It has a kiosk mode for
digital picture frames.  There is an example of how this works in the
video on the project page:

The kiosk mode works well for Pi 2's and 3's.  Feel free to ping me if
you're interested in learning how to use this.
