I do: I used to have a sheevaplug and I'm currently migrating to an Olimex_ board (the A20-OLinuXino-MICRO, because I'm starting to need the full GB of ram, but if you only need remind and a couple other programs the A10-OLinuXino-LIME is just fine, and closer to the price of a raspberry, with much more power and a sata port; both run an almost vanilla debian, except for kernel and bootloader) .. _Olimex: https://www.olimex.com/ Beside the hardware, yes, having an home server is really useful: you can use it as a media server, keep a (centralized-ish) copy of your git repositories, expecially those that are a bit too private_ for git hub and the like, keep all of your emails under your control, while still being able to access them via dhcp from various devices, etc. etc. .. _private: http://vcs-home.branchable.com/ -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
