David and Chris,
Thanks for the comments.
While my interest does include use as NTP server it is not entirely limited
to that application, for example data collection and possibly RTL-SDR based
ADS-B.
I have spent much time searching for information on both devices and as
David suggested, the Beaglebone Black has a bit more going for it
technically but the raspberry PI has a much larger user base.
I am considering one or the other or perhaps both to supplement my use of
Arduino's and in light of the fairly recent announcement of the newest
member of the Arduino stable in partnership with Intel I am wondering
whether to wait for the new Aruduino offering (more $ but not much) or
whether the PI or Beaglebone will do.
See here for info on the Arduino Intel Galileo

Speaking of Arduino, I have still not posted my sketch for my very simple
NTP client clock display. I should have known that when I dug out the code
and started to clean it up a bit before posting that I would end up spending
more time fussing over it. Soon.
Cheers, Graham ve3gtc
=========================================
Graham,
You well know that something better will always be along in six month's
time, so why not wait six months and use it. Oh, but something better still
will be available then! So you never get anything actually done! HI!
I expect you may have seen my notes on an ADS-B program (written by Malcolm
Robb):

and on monitoring ambient temperature:
http://www.satsignal.eu/raspberry-pi/monitoring.html#ambient
so those may prove of interest. There's obviously work to do on the
temperature monitoring as the program doesn't trap either no data returned
(0°C) or max value returned (85°C IIRC), but it demonstrates a capability.
To me there's something good about having one device per function, but the
Pi is capable of more than that.
Looking forward to your Arduino code!
73,
David GM8ARV
