Raspberry Pi vs Beaglebone Black

[Tom Maynard]

Wondering which one might be better?  This article compares the two, feature by feature ... and seems unbiased and honest.

I just had my Beaglebone Black (henceforth dubbed "BBB") driving my 32" (81cm) TV, web surfing with Chromium, on an 100MB ethernet connection to my WiFi repeater, using my USB wireless keyboard/mouse from the comfort of my easy chair, 10 feet (3m) away.

I was just using the USD50 BBB and stuff I had lying about the house ... and it would fit in an Altoids tin!  It did everything I asked, as fast or faster than my old Pentium 4 laptop, and was way more fun to use.

Throw in Java + NetRexx, and the sky's the limit.  Flip a coin (or read the article), and choose one for yourself.

Thanks, as well, for this *very useful* information, Tom Maynard!

As You might or might not know, we here in Austria are a bit late in getting all those newest hardware announcements, or, more spefically, I do get them a bit late, as I am more interested in Software
*Development*, and not so much in Hardware, where my knowledge is *very poor* :-(

Anyway, as Rene Vincent Jansen, RexxLA President, will have his speech at Wednesday, 10:00 - 11:00 SDT
in Raleigh, and Mark Hessling, from Australia, the major maintainer of Regina, the only ANSI Standard
X3J18-199X implementation of ANSI compatible *classic Rexx* I am aware of, and a *lot of Rexx Tools*,
as well, is presenting Rexx/PFIO from 09:00-10:00 SDT at the same day, we shall all get a *super introduction* how to use *classic Rexx* (with Rexx/PFIO) and/or *NetRexx* on those device(s) ....

Greetings from Vienna, and do have a *nice* and *fruitful* RexxLA meeting there, in Raleigh! :-)

Thomas.
