It works! Thank you! > now it's actually tested, sorry for being too lazy to test :D No problem. It's very chatty on startup, but that's DEBUG builds for you.

I'm retiring an old, power-hungry PC and I want a gateway that can do double-duty as a background buildibox. "Console" here doesn't imply graphics; just enough to do basic administration. > It's quite expensive for its capabilities, I only bought it because of pure aarch64 enthusiasm > and desire to have a physical ARM desktop dev box with a working AMD GPU. I chose it because of its capabilities :-) the price is acceptable. > If I needed something as practical as a console, I would've picked up some cheap Intel thing > that wouldn't even need an external video card. I also have RPIs, WandBoards and so on, but these aren't much good for building.

Aah, OK. I have zero knowledge of that myself. :-( M -- [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEyzPHvybPbOpU9MCxQlsJDh9CUqAFAl6kjZgACgkQQlsJDh9C UqDhTgf/dN2UwD4Ww8QNb+vwEKiFDBEKW2Try+jeJS1KyQc14NGOKFAIPvqmQR7t 7zViyaYz8CgQCWYj3P3oQ4+oETtJy01BEqkXxHO8jW2bp2QRwu1Pe4AxfXkIOg+9 fMUxAESfd37m3K2MhnxX5KEtY1Ege6Bf0xjLfuSjJkKXYZtds5JYPLG6OUKJsGUa trsIdVjR/hd6YMWMGujP4ondfK9c8ZKpuebgajyrreelTZ4pj1VRurTEgSSFR0tA wtF/B3b0GsIrhGqQkJcn70Ag4wam0G+NSzWLr+Vms+YkpZZ+4CC+YKBlwUAQ+01s iFwj0HGcaf15lnHrjB4HAK0RlSh6Qw== =g5X0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
