</span>Performance of RPi3 is decent.<br>
<br>
It comes as a board, so addition of screen and keyboard, with the<br>
distribution and support burden that inolves, should be accounted for.<br>
<br>
The price of RPi is comparable to boards based on Allwinner A20 SoC,<br>
where a notable difference is that A20 boards can run Debian, whereas<br>
RPi requires a non-free blob to even boot¹.<br>
<br>
You may not consider Debian and the definition of Software freedoms that<br>
it represents crucial for your promotion of Sugar - I just mention as a<br>
data point.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I had not realized about the non-free blob for RPi. No reason to go down that path if there are free alternatives. Thanks for the heads up. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

¹ Yes, Debian + some non-free parts work, but that is not Debian.<br>
