Why? Pi's are cheap and popular but there are a couple of things wrong
with them. Primarily the rare v6+VFP flavour used by almost no-one
else so standard stuff either doesn't work (v7+VFP) and needs to be
rebuilt, or is poorly optimised (v5+softFP). Secondly the outrageous
claims of exemplary openness on a very closed platform (videocore).

There are _so_ many other boards available which have neither of these
issues that it seems odd to recommend this one unless someone says 'I
have to have really cheap, but need full linux, I need easy IO Pins and
really don't care about freeness'. Or possibly 'I am clueless noob and
heard there is an RPi club near here'. Otherwise I'd suggest any
number of other boards.

Wookey
