[ale] OT: micro mini nano PC

[Chuck Payne]

Another I have played with that Fry's was selling at $99, was the
Lenovo Stick, 2 GB of memory and 32 Gigs for storage with Windows,
Again if you can find an Secure Boot Install and 32-bit version of
Linux, it will install on it. Most people replace W10 with Ubuntu on
them. I install openSUSE 13.2 as it was the last version of 32 bit
openSUSE.

If you do a Pi, Pi2 with BootBerry, you have a lot of Arm Distro you
can choose to install from.No need to format the disk, it does it for
you, you can have multi version of linux on a SD card.  I used with my
Webelos and they love it, some had Fedora, openELEC, and Retropie
install on one card.
