Best OTS hardware for Nard?

[Daniel McAnulty]

I switched to a lenovo running Linux Mint 17 (ubuntu 14), and everything compiles and copies as well as from VMWare (ubuntu 16), but still same or slightly worse results with the RPi 3B.  

All the older Raspberry Pis with Ethernet seem to no longer be available for purchase anywhere, unless I'm missing one?  

I'm gonna dig out one of my usb to serial cables soon and see if I can figure out getting a ttl terminal running, but if anybody has any advice for me, I would gladly listen!  

Also Ronny, let me know if a contribution would help getting Raspberry Pi 3 compatibility info up on your end.  Also would be happy to document any experiences on my end if it would be helpful.
