I've been thinking of saving up for a Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black. I'd like to do a couple cameras and some other stuff, I get more stable every day and I'm constantly building and adding. I'd had to pawn the new uber boxen for a minute but got it back this morning.
I'd actually appreciate input on this. I'm trying to build my network so that it's usable from pretty much every room. I have a bunch of devices, three computers and a roku 2. I also have a Samsung Chromebook with a broken screen, and a little POS windows CI laptop thing in pieces and a decent dual core laptop that I need to fix the motherboard on, blew the board fuse back when I was living in my truck. Anyway, I'm really looking for suggestions as to the best OSs and apps for integration.
