![]() ![]() these are cool machines, and I'd love to get one sometime. Timing buffered disk reads: 58 MB in 3.03 seconds = 19.16 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 62 MB in 3.08 seconds = 20.12 MB/sec Here are the disk speeds I get not very fast but fast enough for what I am hosting: apache, mysql, PHPBB3, DNS, SMTP, SSH I also got a little usb flash drive to user as seconday storage that I have mounted under /usb. I think the system can accept cards up too 32g. the default debian image is about 1.8g but if you do a min headless install of debian its like 300mb so plenty of space. For power I use an old android phone charger and pulled a 4g sdhc card out of a camera. You can compile any Linux distro to run on the hardware but there are pre built Debian images available for simplicity. Did you need to purchase a power cable? Any other accessories that you got with it? Looking at the website, this comes only with the board. ![]() What distro of Linux does it use?

We host the largest cancer care EMR on the planet and have some Linux systems that have not been rebooted in 7 years! I am a Linux engineer for my day job and chose Linux because of its reliability. Here is a pic of what the server looks like hosted on the server itself I wrote a little software to compress and encrypt the DB, webroot, and all critical files and email them to my gmail account for "offsite storage".Īnyway if you run a tiny little site this is a very fun solution the really cool thing though is that it only costs $35 and since it is powered of a 5v phone charger my cost to run it 24/7 is next to nothing compared to the beige tower it was running on before. Was so impressed with it I ported my 2 websites over to it I get about 50k unique visitors a month and run a board exactly like this one with a mysql backend and it is able to keep up just fine i have had 99.9% uptime. I got a tiny server called a raspberry pi 2 months ago it costs 35 dollars are runs a version of linux for armv6l procs it also uses camera flash memory as disk. ![]()
