pinebook for specific purposes
#1
Hi all -

I'm very interested in this project. I read on the main site that the Pinebook is (not Pro) not really a good choice if you're looking for a "daily driver," but am wondering whether it might serve the following purposes:


- learn/play with programming, particularly in Perl, Python, R, perhaps Ruby - and ARM assembly
- display PDFs with something lightweight like zathura (provided it's available for any of the ARM-ported OSs)

... a small form factor device that could do such things (and make many potential distractions unavailable Wink ) would be of interest to me.

Thanks,

Glenn
