[Coco] CocoPi3 "PacoOtaktay Winter 2017-2018 Edition" now available

[Ron Klein]

Hi Frank,

One of the big benefits of working with the RPi3 is a standard hardware
platform to develop for.  I don't have to be concerned about different
video chipsets, video hardware acceleration capability, etc..  That being
said, the menu system and scripts I developed would work with many Linux
distributions.  In addition, all the development tools/utilities should
work without issue.  Perhaps I can take a look at Lubuntu as a low
overhead/resource distribution for the PC as a base for "CocoPC3."
