However, to your point, those benefits come with a trade-off of an older (and slower) architecture, and does not seem like the LAN bandwidth issue has been addressed with the Pi3.
I would be interested some Pi2 vs Pine64 Samba bandwidth testing and will try to get around to it later this week. I will probably use CrystalDiskMark. Do you have preferred parameters?
First off I couldnt disagree more. longsleeps latest ubuntu installs quick easy and clean, just as clean and simple as raspbain on a pi. Even the larger debian install with XFCE put out by lenny installs simply. Image, it boot it, resize it, done. With the lastest kernel from longsleep I finally have hdmi out I can use and wifi that should work for the majority of popular devices out there. Of course your experience is your experience.
The Pi architecture is cheap because of its architecture. Not much point putting Gig-e on a USB backed bus.
As for using CrystalDiskmark to do bandwidth testing? You have seen everything that says the microsd on the Pine is limited to no more than 20-33Mbps? I can push full gigabit over the pines Ethernet with no sweat, getting it data that fast is another matter.
