[13:54] <ThePiixelMonster> hi
[13:54] <ThePiixelMonster> anyone around?
[13:57] <hrnz> maybe
[13:58] <ThePiixelMonster> I'm looking into getting a cubieboard3 to run Ubuntu and Silo 2 for some light 3d work, does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? here is the board: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cubietruck-Kit-Single-board-Cubieboard3-Cortex-A7/dp/B00INRN2W0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1417956973&sr=1-2&keywords=cubieboard and here is the software: http://www.nevercenter.com/silo/?section=support
[13:59] <ThePiixelMonster> I think its a little costy to ust drop the cash and test it
[13:59] <ThePiixelMonster> just
[14:00] <hrnz> won't work
[14:01] <ThePiixelMonster> damn
[14:01] <hrnz> there are no arm binaries for this proprietary blob thingy
[14:01] <ThePiixelMonster> any alternatives?
[14:01] <hrnz> x86 hardware?
[14:02] <hrnz> or use blender
[14:02] <ThePiixelMonster> whatever will allow me to run that and make use of it but be compact and portable under £100
[14:02] <ThePiixelMonster> silo runs on linux pretty ok is why i asked i prefer it over blender
[14:02] <hrnz> I doubt that you will find a new x86 computer for less than 100 pounds
[14:03] <ThePiixelMonster> crap :\
[14:03] <ThePiixelMonster> well thanks for the responses...
[14:04] <hrnz> np
[14:05] <ThePiixelMonster> may i ask why you said it wouldnt run? is it the software or the OS? because that silo runs on 64bit linux...
[14:05] <hrnz> it's the processor architecure
[14:06] <hrnz> there only exist binaries for x86-64 linux. the cubietruck is arm
[14:06] <ThePiixelMonster> ohhhh ok that is where I got a little confused then xD
[14:07] <ThePiixelMonster> i saw someone running blender on a raspberry pi and got excited to look into that as it was more powerful and stuff lol
[14:08] <hrnz> blender is free software
[14:08] <hrnz> you can build it for almost any platform
[14:09] <ThePiixelMonster> yeah so i guess its hopeless to find anything that will run that silo then shit
[14:10] <ThePiixelMonster> -Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS 6+, Fedora 16+, or Ubuntu 14.04+ (x86-64)
[14:10] <ThePiixelMonster> " i saw that and saw someone saying about cubietruck thing running ubuntu and got happy lol
[14:14] <hrnz> hmm
[14:18] <ThePiixelMonster> yeah the only thing is all i need it for is pretty low poly 3d work and web development when i visit family and stuff, just something compact and potable blender i have to spend countless hours customising it before i am efficient or capable when using it
[14:20] <hrnz> you could just get a laptop o.O
[14:22] <ThePiixelMonster> costs significantly more lol
[14:26] <ThePiixelMonster> its ot very comfrtable to work on either,
[14:26] <ThePiixelMonster> damn these keys lol
