I know this question may have been asked before. I just want to know if there are any alternatives to the Raspberry Pi. I want to use it as an XMBC station, but the reviews tell me that it's a bit buggy as of now. The video forwarding and the loading times are not very good.

What I get from all this is that a Raspberry Pi is a good machine for beginners to learn programming, but power users might want to look somewhere else.

Finally, here is my question: What are some other alternatives to the Raspberry Pi. They must be compatible with any flavor of linux. One I like is PandaBoard.

Any other suggestion like that would be great. Price range is between $0-240

  • After careful consideration I have decided to go with PandaBoard ES from DigiKey website.. – tinyhook Sep 23 '12 at 20:03
  • Well actually I am having a hard time deciding between ODROID-X and PandaBoard ES .. They both seem to do the job perfectly fine. – tinyhook Sep 24 '12 at 02:16

Raspberry Pi is quite enough hardware for XBMC. Most of the problems are in the XBMC software implementation, just wait them to be resolved.

However, raymii.org does have a nice list of Linux compatible PCs here: http://raymii.org/cms/p_Small_Linux_PCs_overview

Raspbmc worked great (with a bit safe overclocking) and in RC 5 there will be the new raspberry pi turbo mode.

Really the best option in my opinion ( I still have my HUGE HTPC but for the other TV's it's RaspBMC all the way)
