The operating words here are "in theory." There can be subtle differences in the associated hardware on the board beyond the processor. Probably you just have to try running apt-get or whichever installer it supports for the version of Linux it uses and find out.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488504173949_18417"><br></div></div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488504173949_16848"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488504173949_16847"><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488504173949_18394">I've ordered a Tinkerboard myself to play around with.
