I agree.  I am a big fan of Slackware Linux (I use it for my BBS and on my
personal machine) and am waiting for the maintainers of the S/ARM to compile
it on the RPi 3.  When that happens, I'm seriously considering putting the
BBS on a RPi 3 with the BBS itself running off of a little WD 500GB external
"pocket" USB hard drive.  Talk about almost no power consumption.

Technology can be really neat at times.
