If you manage to avoid taxes you can buy this piece for only 70EUR.

The company who develops the hardware has been very positive about community efforts and at this point Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora have 100% compatiliby with the board. In the demo I'll show you how to install Debian on the board and other cool stuff you can do with it.
