Hi

If you want a small dev board, I would suggest either an arduino +
Ethernet shield or a raspberry pi board.

By the time you bought a arduino + Ethernet shield, you would probably
have spent as much as buying a raspberry pi. You could go for a model a+
board along with a wifi adapter, but as the model b+ already has
Ethernet, and is getting cheaper; I suggest to go for the model b+. RS
Components, have the b+ for ?16 + vat (inc delivery/collection). They
are located near where we meet for the LUG too.


Raspberry Pi Model B+

But the trade counter is closed on Saturdays, so no point in trying to go there on the way to/from a LUG meet... :(

Plus, the delivery's only free if you're a business and spend at least ?20. Private customers get stung with a ?4.95 delivery charge irrespective of order size.

[shameless plug on behalf of my employers...]

Or an Imagination Creator CI20...

Yes, it's more expensive, but you get a faster CPU, plus on-board flash (so you don't need to get an SD card as well), ethernet and WiFi. Ships with Debian, but can be loaded with other distros.
