I agree that the Raspberry Pi is a cool little board but it really isn't on the same level as this. Besides the Cortex 8 being much more powerful than the ARM11 (there are plenty of good articles comparing the architectures) the Beagle bone is designed to be built around and you will see a lot more support in the open-source community for the beaglebone.
