I'm not sure why some has to get ridiculous with the German goose step
references.

I personally appreciate all of the work Doug and I'm sure others have put
into the BBB. It's cheap and you can have a basic node and even a few more
advanced features on the air in less than an hour for cheap money.

My BBB has been rock solid and Doug and others on this list have provided
support that has gone above and beyond anything I expected!

With that said if someone wants to experiment that's great and I like to do
the same things. I've been on this list for a while and I kept hearing
about the BBB and never considered it until recently. I can tell a lot of
work went into that.  There are some advanced features that have been
scripted so all you have to do is follow the prompts. An example would be
using a powered USB hub and making a image onto another USB flash drive
while your system is live.  This is great since my system is at a remote
site. So I can make a complete image remotely so if I loose a micro sd
card. I can insert a new one and restore my card again.

It would be great to see advances using the RPi since that is what ham
radio is about.
