  1. I kinda think Zero is overpriced. I mean you get 256M RAM in the standard one, no HDMI, no 4K (anyone even using that?) and no full-size header, and for 3 more dollars you get double RAM, HDMI, and the full size header. No wifi or PoE thou, so the Zero would *really* make a good access point. Would compile OpenWRT/DDWRT if i had one.

  2. Sure, done.  I did consider using armbians build system, but i just didnt want to use anything-armbian, and instead code my own crappy system. Now i am trying to actually remove debootstrap from the system and ship my pre-built rootfs. I also wanted it to be simple. No menu configuration (that will probably change in the future). But yeah, i did, but i didnt for a reason.

  3. Sorry, misunderstanding, it's quite the opposite. I'm only concerned about fixes/improvements that don't get back 'upstream'. I consider Armbian not a distro but a build system and in the meantime some sort of joined development approach (at least that was one of my goals promoting Armbian).

     

    With regard to "yet another forum": micro communities tend to create micro realities (see banana-pi.org or pine64.org forums for worst examples) and it wouldn't be the first forum run by individuals that got shut down since the 'owner' got bored after some time when a huge amount of knowledge and efforts was already collected there and is then lost forever.

     

    @moondeck: It would be great to prevent just another orphaned/dead Armbian subforum somewhere (see pine64.org or orangepi.org) so please create a sticky thread there sending people searching help for Armbian to http://docs.armbian.com/  (forum link is there twice, this should be sufficient).

    Thats actually a good idea. Let me do it now. As i've said, its not supposed to be another forum for some other community. Its supposed to be a better replacement, i guess if people will migrate, then it has a chance of staying there.

  4. Also, what is wrong with the Sambooca repo, i dont get your point?

     

    As to why it was even created, you need to know why we wanted it in the first place. It was so Sven could use it for his distro, and i came along later, and now use it in my distro. It has almost everything as a module, therefore only taking around 2.4 megs without any modules loaded. Whats the point? Maybe someone doesnt want to use armbian for some reason? Dont get me wrong, the effort is great, and i think what you guys are doing with the kernel is a *really* good thing, i just kinda dislike the system, so i rolled my own. Open source m8.

  5. Yeah, we definitely 'need' more fragmentation. If I look at http://orangepi.club/forumdisplay.php?fid=4 and https://github.com/SvenKayser/Sambooca-Kernel-H3/commits/sun8iI already got the idea, thanks.

     

    Why on earth should be an Armbian forum be needed somewhere else? There IS already one and that's this one here! What's so wrong with trying to bundle development efforts in one place?

    There is a forum on armbian, but not really for anything else. I also think there shouldnt be a category for armbian on that forum, but i dont decide about that, i can tell the admin thou.

    The main thing is that this is a forum for armbian, that means that if i wanna talk about my distro, i cant really do that here.

  6. Hi everyone,

    we have a new forum set up at orangepi.club now, since the original one runs as if it was run on a OPi One while compiling 5 kernels at the same time, and its mostly broken too (login for example)

     

    The new forum is not supposed to be a replacement for this forum, just a place to have a general chat about all systems, not only Armbian. I hope its a good place to post it. Also, if you are a creator of a distro, you can be a moderator for the distribution category.

     

    I am not a part of the administration, i am just telling you guys about it, so we get people to know this forum and actually use it, because its better.
