I would be heavily interested in viable alternatives that use as little
power as a rpi2.

The rpi2 is a great allrounder regarding energy limitations from my cabin
in the woods while offering a default linux as a fallback if I'm forced to
commit treason.

X200 Thinkpads are great as well. But having limited energy supply from solar
panels forces me to ignore other comforts.

I know this is very specific to my needs, but I seldom see much talk of
other micro computers (desktop/server) (especially regarding 9) and would
happily try out some alternatives.
