Do you know of any SBC that hats Gigabit LAN, 2GB RAM and good linux support?

Cubietruck: http://linux-sunxi.org/Cubietech_Cubietruck (don't confuse it with the now available 'Cubietruck Plus' that's the same weird design as the Banana Pi M3 using H8/A83T SoC, that might never receive full mainline kernel support, lack's I/O bandwidth and uses the same ultra-slow USB-to-SATA bridge)

ODROID XU4: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php

And then the next 2 Cortex-A53 devices I will test are Geekbox and ODROID-C2: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic...ter/page-2

Mainlining support questionable or not existent at the moment but feature both GBit Ethernet and 2 GB RAM.

Apart from that the next device interesting for the project I contribute to (Armbian) is the Turris Omnia based on Marvell's Armada 385. Well, these SoCs might be more expensive than the simple Pine64 board but they're suited for more professional use cases: http://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/

The ODROID seems to have terrible Linux support, not to mention their boards apparently only have 4 weeks warranty...

The Cubietruck seems like a nice board also, but suffers from the same problem...

The Turris Omnia also looks promising, but its a router...
I don't really care much about paying a bit more. I just want something with enough power to not be sluggish, enough RAM not to starve after a couple of apps and decent support.
