How to Run Linux on ODROID-U2: A Monster of an ARM Machine
"The more you look into the options for running a low-power Linux machine, the more products you will uncover. The target of this article is the ODROID-U2, which is an extremely small form factor, ARM-based computer that packs enough grunt to replace a modest desktop." -- source: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/711478-how-to-run-linux-on-odroid-u2-a-...

Is this the most powerful sub $100 hardware that I could acquire for running an apache/nginx + postgresql server? Noel On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Peter Reutemann <fracpete(a)waikato.ac.nz>wrote:

I have one. It's going to cost you more the $100 after accessories anyway. You'd better get an eMMC reader and UART serial adaptor with it if you want to save yourself a lot of headaches. If I just wanted to serve pages, I'd run an RPi.
Depends what pages you want to server and the memory and I/O requirement of the cms / web pages are. I'm pondering the Cubieboard https://www.miniand.com/products/Cubieboard%20Developer%20Board it has a SATA port so possibly will be better with disk I/O than USB. I found the RPi when used as a samba file server seemed to get starved for I/O , I was using a USB disk enclosure. I was using stock Debian install, so I probably could have tweaked it to get better performance. On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 2:11 PM, Bryan Baldwin <bryan(a)katofiad.co.nz> wrote:
