[00:02] <mijk> I'm debating building an arm "desktop"
[00:02] <mijk> I've looked at a few options
[00:02] <maxinux> im running ubuntu arm w/ xfce4 on bbb
[00:02] <maxinux> sound is still a fail
[00:02] <maxinux> and 720p max
[00:03] <maxinux> raspi too slow still, but raspian is a reasonable distro
[00:05] <mijk> i was looking at the via vab-800
[00:09] <maxinux> looks nice
[00:15] <maxinux> it can be a bit of an experience if you havent done it before
[00:34] <mijk> i haven't
[00:35] <mijk> i built a system that booted up the power supply, drives and usb devices, but i couldn't get the os to boot on the pandaboard
[00:36] <mijk> i gave up because i had little time
[00:38] <infinity> If you have a Panda, that's going to be a more fun experience than the VIA.
[00:38] <infinity> The CPU on that VIA machine isn't what I'd call "fast".
[00:41] <mijk> the problem was getting it to look like an atx system
[00:41] <mijk> i had a make-shift io shield that was hell to make and far from practical
[00:56] <mijk> he's not having any luck connecting
 I'm debating building an arm "desktop" <-- This is something I'd love to do, but still waiting for an SoC with enough of a wow factor,
[03:09] <lilstevie> fingers crossed on armv8
[16:42] <iceroot> hi
[16:42] <iceroot> is there a way to have flash?
