I started experimenting with OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi a year or so ago and it has now become the go to printing software. It's free and open source, also very well supported and documented, just followed the docs on the website - very straightforward. Great resource for wireless printing with a simple web-based interface. However, I still do all the slicing in Slic3r (within Repetier) and just export the G-code to the Octo-server (settings available in an earlier post). I will likely switch to Cura in the near future.
This is not the most elegant solution, but used some custom mods to attach a dedicated Raspberry Pi w/ OctoPrint server to the printer to make things easier.
