I think I will get one then to play with.
I've got a bunch of pis doing Squeezebox stuff, using piCorePlayer. I really like it, it is a poor man's Sonos. Synchronization between them is good, controlled from a phone is great. They are robust because the sdCard is essentially read-only.

I'm currently working on something very similar to this http://www.heisenburg.co.uk/RaspberrypiIntro.html
However I'm also working telescope motorised control into the mix as well.

I'm really liking the YUN and will probably buy more of them, They're a lot easier to setup for reading sensors and using servos than Pi's in my opinion and I think Pi's are overkill on a lot of it. I have a crap load of Pi's and use them for all sorts of things - currently getting into telescope control rigs and astrophotography which is ideal for Pi.
You can SSH to the YUN, it has a micro sd slot - so for basic web reporting and whatnot it's ideal, at £60 is quite pricey - but I'm really liking them
@hippy we've got two of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-indoor-ceiling-flush-pir/47121 You can adjust them as well, we had to play with the timings a bit, for example the hall one turns off after about 10 seconds, as its generally just pass through traffic, whereas the toilet one stays on for 4 minutes, before it needs 're-activating'. The only problem we find is that the PIR in the bog is almost directly above the throne, and it seems to have a blind spot directly below, so sometimes some comedy waving ensues.
MOC has done all the wiring. They're basically just another light switch. I can probably get a wiring diagram off him if you want.
