Just running the debian distro... it's fast

It must have been fast to setup as well, that didn't take you long.

Fast D/L on Virginmedia Broadband
Quick to write on a 16G Sandisk Ultra uSD using USB3.0 adapter. (2.1Gbyte image)
Plugged in powered up and around 18 seconds to full boot into gui.

did you pull down any of the API docs they had for the GPIO, looks like they had both C and Python?

The (C) GPIO looks like very crude hack from Pi based stuff.

Have you found any I2C examples/library yet ?

I need to test something with I2C and I thought this might be a good way to kill multiple birds with one Rock !

For I2C, I expect that there is a kernel driver, and that you can use the standard I2C tools like i2cdetect.

Thanks Roger, I've never used any of these tiny Linux thingies so I'm not sure where to look for stuff.
