Ok, I have been setting up my http://cubieboard.org/ up with https://fedoraproject.org/ to be able to control my http://www.butterflylabs.com/ hardware.

Obviously, I had to compile cgminer, which is straightforward.

So, I want the CubieTruck to start https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer, automatically, as a …

Ok, so, before I go to bed, I wanted to share a quick tip with you.

Ok, today, I had two big ideas.

Speaking with Gabriel, I came up with a mini device; pluggable to the computer via USB, a PAN or whatever. The device would be a medical device that you attach to your finger. It would take various metrics; including temperature, pressure, pulse and …

Ok, when I say "low on memory", I mean less than 512 MB of RAM. My particular installation was on an old Dell; with ~384 MB of RAM.

Yep, it will take long. Yep, you will suffer. Yep, it works fine!

So, first of all, get Fedora's LXDE live CD …

Guys, I really like BFO. It's cool, awesome and, in the end, you will save a lot bandwidth not only to you, but to the mirror Community.

Yep, bfo is easy to use: https://boot.fedoraproject.org/
