Loads of Beelink type N100s cheaper.

Armbian on the oPi5 is getting much more stable, and there is a new, 
much faster version oPi rumoured. Potentially, kit that will have a more 
stable OS to begin with. Presumably due to the oPi getting a kicking for 
having poor software support.

I wouldn't buy anything rPi at the moment.
