Wouldn't an old android phone with an SSH server be better

No it wouldn't even be equivalent. Busybox is really limited compared to any Linux shell and you would be stuck with Android.

What are you using it for?

>>61310550
Depends on the application. What you propose could be cost effective, but you are lacking ethernet connection (unless you use an adapter). Also the purpose of the rpi is, apart from being a cheap soc to introduce children to programming, to be able to interface with other embedded devices, through the gpio pins. From an EE and ECE viewpoint, The rpi includes interfaces like iic, serial, spi and thr gpio pins. Of course, there are better alternatives like beaglebone black, whixh offers morr peripherials, but as an entry level product is good.

not if you set up a full linux chroot

needs root

>or am I just retarded?
You are just retarded.
That you don't realise this is part of your condition.

I see these tard comments all the time about the Raspberry Pi.
What makes it so interesting is the GPIO pins and the ability to automate and connect with the real world. Where for this price can you find an automation controller that can also handle an embedded Human Machine interface?
