Hello, I was thinking about buying a Raspberry Pi 2 but then I was talking to a friend and he said not to and to get a Beagle Board or something else. I was wondering what your thoughts on it were? Would you recommend a Pi or something else? I am trying to keep it $45 USD or less. 

Thanks, 

Noah

What for?

Just messing around in Linux, running a server, having access to documents in the cloud, fun projects, stuff like that.

I'd go for the Pi.  There seems to be a much larger community/more documentation.

Thats what I was thinking but was unsure. 

Thanks.
