With that network speed it looks as if mounting a remote / is a good option.

#22I actually won a Tinker Board recently and was disappointed to find out that, unlike the Raspberry Pi, it has no composite port.
I guess that's something to be expected, it's probably not a very used feature, but I really enjoy being able to play old video games on a CRT, as they were meant to be played.

#23Is there a reason why everybody just HAS to stick to the RPi's when the BeagleBone Black/Green/Blue/etc. are:
1) Far more open (you can get documentation and chip supply to build your own BeagleBone)
2) No more expensive
3) Mainline Debian

#24I think the main issues with all of these rasbi alternatives is the software. As ... quirky ... as the rasbi is, the software support and optimisation is excellent. There are several speed comparisons on youtube where the rasbi beats a lot of the competition through sheer software optimisation. Honestly, without complete Upstream Kernel support and Open Sourcing of all necessary drivers, none of these Boards is reall…
Allwinner based boards have mainline kernel support for most features, they're one of a handful of vendors that has mainline support (primarily due to community efforts). I personally like the OrangePi boards due to price & reliability, easy to set and forget without worrying about mSD corruption. http://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page is pretty useful for a list of boards and info.
nice, thank you

Software can be fixed by a large enough number of developers and users. Where the Raspberry Pi wins is community. I've got so many other boards but none of them work quite as well as the Pi.
Mainline kernel support is a big big issue, and it can't always be fixed by the community. There are a number of well supported Allwinner boards out there at very competitive prices though, we use them in production due to their price, lack of mSD corruption issues, and bandwidth (all the USB/Ethernet ports are directly wired on the OrangePi PC+, no bottlenecking like on the Raspi).

#26Has anyone got any experience with this one?

I'm thinking about buying two of them and using them as a NAS with offsite mirroring for critical data/important documents.

#27The tinkerboard, being backed by a big name like Asus, seems to at least have as good a distribution network as the RPi has built up.
Many of the alternative boards, for all their improvements over he RPi, are virtually impossible to get hold of beyond directly importing from the OEM.
That said, i already have an RPI3B sitting around that i have yet to do anything with.

Not for any of the GPUs. If all you want is a terminal, you can pretty much buy anything..

#29Tinkerboard has amazingly performant GPU. Peak performance is 81.6GFlops, comparable to mid-range desktop GPUs from 2007 (e.g. GeForce 8400 GS had 67 GFlops, GeForce 8600 GT had 114 GFlops). It also supports 4k HDMI output resolution.
RPi is more compatible i.e. the software stack supports OpenGL.
But for cases where it’s OK to code against GLES, Mali-T764 is awesome. I once used NanoVG to build a very nice looking rich GUI, with alpha transparency, animated state transitions, etc. Moreover, it consumes practically no CPU time, because everything is hardware accelerated.

You mean Mali and not Mail? If so, boooo proprietary GL stacks. It seems like everyone wants to continue to follow PowerVR's lead, which is extremely unfortunate.
