i ave got the Raspberry Pi here, i managed to configure the Raspbian on it, also the new Raspbian Release now has Oracle's Java JDK, i ave NOT Tried Ubuntu on it, i'll give it a shot over this Weekend..
u can checkout intel's minnowboard http://www.minnowboard.org/ which 2 me looks to be more powerful than the Pi, But However, i failed to get Raspberry Pi here (Uganda), just got it from Amazon, and soon i'm willing to ship minnowboard.., On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Kyle Spencer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Has anyone here tried getting Ubuntu to run on micro/mini boards like > the Raspberry PI, Hackberry, et al? > > I've got some Hackberries but the performance seems to be weaker than > anticipated.
