I have an aluminum case, not using it lately. I mostly use a USB wifi adapter. If you clone a Pi SD card it ends up on the same IP address as the original. I couldn't get it through anybody's head at raspberry pi.org that this is a problem. USB wifi is at least different, haven't tried 2 of

Thank you, I hadn't looked at that. So there's Debian for it, not just Ubuntu? I have 3 Raspberry Pi 3s but for a higher performance machine I have a Rock64, which isn't entirely satisfactory. I'll poke around Odroid's forums a little and probably order one. It looks more like a car stereo and

Unless you're going to overclock it (which I'm not sure is possible, probably) you don't need a heat sink. It will throttle (reduce speed) if it gets hot. A heat sink keeps it from overheating so soon so it can run at full speed longer. If you run cpuminer (to mine Litecoin or Bitcoin) it will

So when I buy one of these in a couple of months, do I need to buy the heatsink too? Will the heatsink fit into the standard case? If not, is there a case that will fit? And, finally, is there a version of Debian that will run on one of these? Or should I just plan on running Raspbian?
