It's a Linux board like the Raspberry Pi, a little more geared towards
hardware hackers, and slightly more open.  There's a slightly cheaper
"green" version from seeedstudio.com if you want to save a few bucks.
They've also announced a wireless version.  These days the Raspberry Pi
is a lot more popular, and the Pi 3 (quad core) is faster than the
Beaglebone, maybe by 3x or so.

I don't think it's feasible to do super low level hacking on any of
these boards unless you're fairly experienced, if that was what you were
thinking.  They're good if you want to write or run user-level programs
under Linux.  If you want to hack low level, the Arduino has the biggest
community and ecosystem.
