Low Cost Linux Devices
Low Cost Linux Devices is a work in progress, attempting to catalogue the best and cheapest devices capeable of running open source operating systems! The current leaderboard lists only commercially available devices with a documented (and relatively simple!) method of installing a Linux operating system. We are urgently looking for improved information on any similar devices, including new devices (especially cheaper ones!), detailed information, best places to buy them, success stories, and more. Funky new editable pages are coming soon, in the mean time, please email us any info you have - you will be credited if you wish.
