Still not oreder one yet.

I had a strange urge to see if I could run OOF on one.  Then quickly thought "why?"

Hosting OOF.. Well, it would reduce your 'leccy bill.

You might get some complaints about performance, though. Then again, it might not even manage that.

Are you suggesting it lacks the legs for MySQL and a busy Apache setup ;D

The "Why" came about because I have a physical server here anyway, so an additional couple of VMs to run OOF isn't much of a overhead really...  ...except the damage it does to disks  :-X

Mine turned up last week as well. It took me a while to flash an SD card but after that it 'just worked'

What I hadn't considered was that the only TV in the house is about 15 years old & leaves a lot to be desired as a computer monitor  :(

wa is worrying high if its just running a browser. But then X is horribly inefficient, and was probably swapping.
