You might want to peek at Amahi (<a href="http://www.amahi.org">www.amahi.org</a>).<br>There is a ubuntu version released today. This one also supports ARMv7. It is only tested on TI Pandaboard (OMAP4), but I am planning to install it on my Mele A2000 too.<br>
It is based upon ubuntu 12.04<br>If you are interested in doing the same I am more than happy to assist (I am the ubuntu dev lead for amahi).<br><br>Frans (eFfeM on irc)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/7/4 Alexander Ross <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:abushcrafter@gmail.com" target="_blank">abushcrafter@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">While rhombus-tech goodies are in the works :). Umm is there any nice efficient arm computers suitable for a HDA (Home Digital Assistant or in other words a home server.) All our money is magic money -debt- btw. So it will need to be cost us less to run then what the electric bill would other wise work out :).<br>
<br>*1GB ram min. Tribler & JD seam to like there rum.<br>*1.*GHZ probley best. Don't think MHz is up to it.<br>*Lots of SATA :P. IE 6 hard drives.<br>*A 100% free software only distribution that will be supported for a few years at least.<br>
<br>I have plenty of PCs :D but they all are power hogs. The best PC I guess, is 60W @ 2GHz cpu but I have a 1.6GHz cpu, no SATA :(.<br>
<br>I see there are lots of HDA sort of thing arm computers. Do existing/supported for a few years distributions work on them? Are they mostly locked down useless rubbish? Or do I just wait for a nice rhombus-tech HDA :D.<br>
<br>I want to run the flowing software:<br>*Tribler -_The_ future of bittorent-<br>*NFS<br>*Backup -Undecided-<br>*Fatrat? Miro? Or some other podcast getter? ...need to decide<br>*JDownloader<br>*Decentralised search engines<br>
*Tor<br>*PVR maybe<br>*Decentralised social stuff maybe. I have rubbish Internet connection. At the moment down is around 50 kbs best has been 190kbs. Up is under 100kbs last I checked.<br>*GNU telephony<br>*IRC client -Undecided-<br>
