I've been listening in, and I thank you all very much for your input. I have 0 experience with an SBC, but want to move to a low-power-consumption basic web and file server. Because of the battery options which would allow me to do without a UPS, I'm seriously considering the olimex a20-onlinuxino-lime2.
Some questions from this newbie: o can I create a NetBSD bootable micro SD card, or does one have to use Debian or Android on these A-20 Olimex SBCs? o can I hook up a serial concole via a standard RS232 cable? o after the initial install of NetBSD, can I have the computer boot from a USB (preferably C-type, but standard type okay)? Or is it better to just get a board with the eMMC flash memory option and boot from that? o is there a cookbook-kind of howto document on installing NetBSD on ARM architecture SBCs?
