Igor: Thank you for the information, i hobe you are right. I take the risk and we will show in the future. P.S. I have build a kde system. - The kde task bar (kde, ..., kmix, clock) don't show any programms if there are open. - the upperst task bar of a Window not exist. It looks like the packages only where build to be added by other window manager. Now I'm using lxde on my second tinker, lxde works fine. ( I have 2 tinker board, 1 as Server and the second to build a Image for the server and for me, for testing and to play :-))

Yes I have build a Stretch Image on a Lubunt 16.04 in a Virtualbox for 1 hour. But the mainline Support is my Problem. If I had bought a Intel Nuc I had Mainline Support for I think 15 years or longer (x86_64) (longer than the lifetime of the Machine ) with this board how long do you think, how long does the mainline support takes ? I only need a new Image if the support of the debian release is ending. My fear is, I must buy a new computer after 4 years.

I have tested the script to build a own Image. There I have build a successful Kernel with ebtables support. If the Tinker Board becomes in the future support for the next Debian releases, I am Happy :-). Thank you, too

I thought this is only a auto builder without any options to build a own Kernel. I thought the Kernel will be downloaded and integrated to the Image. I had to test it and if there are problems with it I would write again. Second plan was to sell the Thinkerboard and to buy a Intel Nuc or something else. Thank you!

Hello, I have 2 questions. 1. How long does the support for the tinkerboard takes. Because I'm using the Board as Server and i don't need much CPU Power but I don't like to buy every 2-4 years a new board because the support ended. The reason of this question is, the odroid c1, there is no stretch image for this board. 2. Is there a good howto, how to build a kernel on a thinkerboard with own config? Reason for this question is, I have installed the latest armbian stretch server image on my tinker board and the kernel has no ebtables support. Second Reason ist question 1, build a own Kernel and update to Debian 10,11, ...., n.
