I purchased the pine for 2 purposes. Common use cases it seems.
1) To get away from my windows laptop as Plex Media Server.
Results: It works 'OK' under Linux, when I'm local. When I share with friends it chokes. I'd say it was my upstream, but the windows laptop hums along without issue (it is a cheap 3 year old model). The 4 CPU's pretty much max out on the Pine. Is there some sort of tuning that can be done? I'm running MATE, not Headless.
2) Replace my windows desktop that is in my Mame Cabinet currently
Should I consider Android instead of Linux to run Mame? I have a second SD card coming today that I'll load up with Android to see.
