I see, so AROS would be the only real option for these ARM powered devices.

Sure I'm biased, but AROS is the only real option full stop ;)

Is there any documentation about how to recompile the kernel for BB? the Pi is cool but it is a bit underpowered, and the BB is much faster, which makes it more likely to be able to run software better and faster.

Pi underpowered? You'll struggle to find as powerful a computer for £20... Also, IRC, the BB has weaker GFX performance than the Pi ;)

For the money, the pi is the best option IMHO. -edit- the BB is really for electronics/hobby prototyping. The pi is a consumer electronics device.

Heck, if it run on my 030-50MHz, should run nicely on a GHz processor with accelerated  GPU :)

Also I heard about Minimig; and was wondering what is the os that is running on it....conceptually seems like a pi or a BB.

Minimig is something else, basically an A500 on a single chip (two chips if you include the 68000)... It will run the original AmigaOS and the 68k build of AROS.
