There may be others, but haven't hit them yet.
That sounds like the OS has mangled the shell in some way.
And from the Orange's webpage each model has its own set of possible
OS:es so there is a chance that it will actually work somewhere, but
who knows where?
With the RPi we know it works and there is ample developer support to
plug a problem fairly quickly.
I agree. Most of our RPis are actually running Debian, but in extremis
it's always possible to roll back to Raspbian as a baseline configuration.
There are of course other small boards: Olimex, Odroid and now Asus.
However RPi does offer a fairly flexible and cost-effective range, and
unless the OP is considering shipping hundreds rather than 10s of boards
I suggest that getting onto both the Linux learning curve and one for
minority hardware is quite simply not cost-effective.
