One week ago, the BeagleBone I ordered from Tigal.com eventually landed on my desk. As you may know, it’s an ARMv7a OMAP device with 256Mb RAM, USB 2.0 and FastEthernet 10/100. The board doesn’t come with HDMI output but daughter boards…
I am very excited to inform you guys, that the number of production servers powering the whole Sabayon Linux infrastructure has grown once more. This time it’s all about the Top-ix Consortium which is going to host our main Entropy…
