Hi all,
WSPR 4889
Bananian 3.0 is OK 
Fedora 21 on Banana Pi is OK
Fedora 20 x86_64 is OK
Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 is OK

Thanks Joe.

Virtual Memory requirements:
222056K on Bananian is OK with it's 1Gb of ram and 20Gb of swap.
370Mb on Fedora 21 on Banana Pi
800Mb on Fedora 20 x86_64
590Mb on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64

All good.


I don't have a Raspberry Pi because, no SATA port.

When SD cards can do 10^9 writes without fail, I'll use them.
(they are just not big enough, 32Gb is not enough for a general
purpose computer)

Man's greatest waste of time: Worshipping the wrong God.
Consider Jesus.
