I recommend the Cubieboards or Linkspirt. The advantage of both of these over a RaspberryPI:
Mainline kernel. See what it takes for a special RPi kernel over on the Centos-arm list. Sata interface. What are you going to run your stuff on? A slow SD card or a slow USB drive?
I use Rasbian on my pi's. its pretty hard to beat $35 for the pi3 if cost is important.
Not only am I able to run Centos on my Cubie armv7s (medon and onlo are outwardly facing), I have Redsleeve 7 running on an old Pogoplug Kirkwood armv5. I do have to use a Fedora-arm 18 kernel for armv5.
Oh and ClearOS7 on my Windows file server.
So I basically have the same OS on all my servers.
Though I have been around *nix for 20+ years, it is not my business, and having one OS keeps my life simpler.
