MadMax Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi, is the image for the M1 and Pro the same? Because after downloading, the file name is "Armbian_5.04_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.4.3". On the download page for M1 and Pro the download links point to the same file. Looking at http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/i see only 5.00 for the M1. Another question i have: After the login i see 12 updates and i should run APT. Since years I'm using aptitude since it is the preferred and newer program for Debian. So the question is if i can safely use aptitude? Or is there something pre-installed and i mix up the package management. I will never understand why every tutorial on the web is using APT.

Igor Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 All Bananas are merged under one hood (bananapro). It will remain this way unless some strange unsolved issues emerges. Since there are some differences you might need to use different DTB settings, set via boot script. So the question is if i can safely use aptitude? It's standard Debian so you are free to use it.

Nick Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I will never understand why every tutorial on the web is using APT. Because it has Super Cow Powers... Try apt-get moo and see what happens. Slightly more seriously, I don't see any advantage to aptitude for general use. apt-get and apt-cache are extremely powerful and if you can't be bothered to type then the key commands such as install, remove search etc. are available from the shorter apt command. e.g. apt install mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
