first of all, a great compliment to the makers of armbian, really good job you're doing!
I installed legacy ubuntu trusty for pcsuino3-nano on my pcduino3 (not nano) and everything works fine.
First i tried the vanilla version, but i could not manage to get UART2 (ttyS1) to work, so i switched back to legacy where everything with UART2 works properly.
Maybe someone knows how to get ttyS1 working with the vanilla kernel on pcduino3 with that image provided. But I'm happy with legacy kernel for now.
Now to the question, what i like better with vanilla is, that there's no preinstalled desktop-environment. I am using the pcduino3 headless as embedded device and there is no need for a desktop environment atm. How can i best remove xfce and xorg from the legacy version the best way? just apt-get remove xfce, xorg and the gnome-themes? will there be packages left "eating" performance from my pcduino?
Next question, where's the start of xfce managed in that distribution? Could not find anything in .bashrc, rc.local, etc.
So for the first try, if i just want to prevent xfce and x-drivers loading from the startup, how to do that?
Excuse my nooby questions and bad english, am still a linux noob and not an native english speaker ;-)
