Is there at least one side of the pi that has no connector ?

obarthelemy

<t>That\'s good news. May even be good for some computer learning, as long as you want Basic. Personally, I\'d rather take a Pi, with a modern OS and interfaces, pretty much any programming language, the ability to actually do useful stuff (server, Office, Inernet)... But vintage machines ...

there's post somewhere in here to that effect indeed. Monochrome though, I think.

<t>I'm extremely young: I was at the party my univ's IT team had when they discarded their last paper-tape reader. Free Streamers ! ( a bit monochromatic though). Good bye PDP... something. BTW, I still miss the Spectrum's "loading" colors on the screen's borders. A few Amstrad games had ...

You should read the wiki.
I2S is there, S/PDIF isn't.

something else is SECAM, which of course is far superior to the others ^^

obarthelemy

<t>That's all well and good, but unless we assume every Pi will be connected to a HD, or that a 128 MB RAM device doesn't need swap, we don't have much choice. Back to the question: does the Broadcom boot process require the boot files in the first SD partition, or can that be swap, and t...

<t>something weird is going on with the torrents. I've completed the lxde download, with a ratio of 2, a few hours ago. I've put it back on seed, at high priority. 1- It currently sees only 5 seeds, which is weird, swarms with a slow seeder usually complete a lot within a few minutes of the fir...

<t>I guess I lose karma points for using descriptive names.. my current computers are serveurITX, miniITX and HPmini... (I\'m into small stuff these days) I didn\'t even name my first ZX81... The Pis will probably be numbered, or by function, I\'m planing on one to replace the (NAS, Torrent, Web) se...

Not possible, and already widely discused.

<t>Don't focus on the OS, focus on the apps. My 6yo nephew has no clue what OS his "white ipad" runs. Or that it's actually an Andoid tablet. He does love that it has the Smurfs and Wall-E and a hndful of other movies, as well as a few games, right on the home screen. Not that he didn't learn t...

<t>@nobbit: actually, your way is much better than RAID: it does not depend on fragile hardware or software RAID, it gives you a bit of time to realize you've deleted an important file or gotten a virus before both drives get affected, and it gives you the option the hide a drive elsewhere in case o...

lxde one has finished seeding. Maybe you can stop seeding it to help the gnome one catch up, while we seed lxde ?

obarthelemy

<t>Lol... mmm... thanks ? At least we now know these settings have a huge impact ^^ There's a whole lot of parameters to play with, variances with different kernel versions... this is getting complicated, especially with no way to actually play with a Pi. If think the list of parameters to...

Still working on the "Optimizing for SSD" topic.
Since the swap partition is fixed size, it would make sense to put it first and use the rest for OS+Data.
Is there anything in the boot process that prevents that ?

obarthelemy

There's one in the armel stuff in my sig; there may be others available for our variants of Linux and ARM. A search for "forth" in the forum yields... nothing, so there doesn't seem to be much community activity/interest for the moment.

obarthelemy

It's work in progress right now, I'll see when it's somewhat finished.

obarthelemy

I'm seeing the lxde version at 96% w/ 60 leeches, and gnome at 45% w/ 21 leeches.

I'm planning to do just that, with a couple a chewing gums to hold the thing to the back of the screen.
