Beaglebone and respberry pi programming

Hello
nowday's these two beaglebone and Respberry pi are now in market as embedded linux platform. so can i use it as my dev. board for doing my projects which is now i am doing on LPC2148.
and how much difference between programming level and hardness between lpc2148 and these boards.
and which one is useful and best for beginners from both.

Coding for Embedded Linux is considerably different than coding for a microcontroller not running an RTOS or Scheduler.

Even coding for an RTOS capable of running on the LPC2148, it lacks the necessary resources to run Linux, there will be considerable differences.

I have both the BeagleBone Black and the Raspberry PI, I prefer the BeagleBone Black, although I suspect online support through forums and blogs is most likely greater for the Raspberry PI.

One issue with the Broadcom BCM2835 ARM Microcontroller used in the design of the Raspberry PI is that full documentation for the device is unavailable unless you are vetted by Broadcom and agree to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

On the other hand, all documentation is readily available for TI Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 used in the design of the BeagleBone Black.

There are other reasons I prefer the BeagleBone Black, however if you are just getting started in the Embedded Linux realm, it might be more advantageous for a beginner to choose the Raspberry PI due to the extremely wide range of support.

The Raspberry PI has become sort of the Arduino of the Embedded Linux world.

thank you sir but can i run stepper motor and and other peripherals as we do with lpc2148.
and i don't want to use as linux platform. i want to use as dev. board for fullfill my projects.

if i want to run on linux platform what kinda of programming is there. and how can i do.

ok if programming language is different and programming environment is also different. but can i do my projects based on stepper motor and 16x4 lcd on respberry pi???
can i do all projects which can be done on LPC2148 to respberry pi???
