The RPi2 is superior in almost every way. I've got an RPi3 here but
won't have time to exercise it for at least a few days.
My RPi 1 Model B (the original) is still ticking nicely even after so
many years of usage. At one stage I used used it as a web server, then
as a media player for over two years, running 24/7. Now I use it to test
FPC+fpGUI builds for the ARM target.
The RPi1 I've got here wasn't reliable, but it could have been a thermal
runaway and I'm supposed to be testing it on a battery.
From what I've read online, the RPi2 and RPi3 have way more memory and
processing speed than mine. So that should be a nice welcome as a lite
desktop / development environment.
If we continue this it would be better in -other, but I've got a spare 2
and 3 here and would quite like to explore xdmx as we've already
discussed. Potentially, a cluster of those could replace my desktop
systems: I think they're entirely adequate for development.
