--Apple-Mail=_62951074-1638-4343-BB46-A7BC8E14DD96 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Ive got a CuBox i4pro (http://www.solid-run.com/product/cubox-i4pro/) with = a routed IP ruining ArchLinux..

It sits mostly i= dle and never hits swap space; I had some stability issues a while back tha= t turned out to be due to my cheap uSD card but its been running months sin= ce I installed a new one without issue. Ive also got a few beaglebone blacks running for sprinklers, remote gpio an= d gps time server, they have small li-ion batteries wired directly to them = as they have built in battery charger/backup; but for me they were too slow= and limited on storage for primary server use so they do more simple and d= edicated tasks.. the small batteries do keep em running for at least 6h, ha= ven't tested it much thankfully.
