When looking at these different SoCs. I got the Radxa Rock. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to play with it yet. Both are more powerful than a Pi. Both have several linux distros that can be used on it, including Gentoo. Both also can run FreeBSD. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
