Post by: TheBoy on 29 June 2012, 17:26:40: Still not oreder one yet.

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

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

Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 29 June 2012, 21:00:06: Mine came well over a week ago - thing is I forgot to order PSU, SD card for OS etc, ordered it months ago. Will put in my pile of things to do.

Should we have a section fo Pi info/applications etc?

Post by: Andy H on 29 June 2012, 21:15:10: 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.
