But please don't expect anything great compared to longsleep's Xenial build. Will perform and behave almost the same. Main differences: With Armbian you get every update the 'usual way' since we haven an own apt repository so you can just do an 'apt-get upgrade'. On the other hand we do not integrate longsleep's PPA by default so this would require a manual addition (as soon as Pine64 LCD will arrive I will look into that and maybe we provide a script to upgrade to a desktop image sometimes in the future).
Since we're here talking about Ethernet issues: Choosing the Armbian Jessie variant over the 'official' ones is a better idea in this context since there real differences exist due to inapproriate settings used by the 'officials' and you get simply more performance when relying on Armbian (but as explained several times: settings matter, it's easy to 'fix' this with any Linux image around, no need to switch to a different image if you know what you're doing)
