it would be similar to the Raspberry Pi with some sort of video
acceleration or not? (saying that I have a Pi which I can use
for that, this would maybe come in handy as a low energy backup
machine to leave at one of my parents houses to backup my import
stuff to (I figure bung on a lightweight install of some Linux

This is the best comparison of the Beaglebone and the
Pi I have seen so far,

and it says that the Beaglebone doesn't have any
hardware media decoding which I have also read elsewhere. That's
a shame but similarly I have XBMC running on a Pi and it works
okay so I can live without it.
