Ask HN: Best micro computer a la raspberry pi?
I am looking to buy a micro computer to experiment with. Primary role will be to act as a home to my external hard drive and other media on it, so a USB port would be a huge plus. I would preferably want to run debian on it, though even android should be fine. I have seen a few posts here about different micro computers but don't remember any other than raspberry pi. Is raspberry pi the best one to buy?
- nodata 14y agoWhat do you want to do with it? Samba server? For what? HTPC?
- tapan_pandita 14y agoAs a file server, also to stream videos/music off of it. Mostly to experiment.
- nodata 14y agoWell for a file server for a HTPC, it will serve files fast enough for 1080p. > Mostly to experiment. With what though? We need more information.
- inovica 14y agoI have a Raspberry Pi for movies/media and its great. I bought a second one for my son to learn Python on - definitely worth it and its to a good cause
