Hey Benny!

 BP> i am still impressed i did not get out of mem

You didn't say whether that is a 64 bit system and if 32 bit it doesn't
surprise me that ~1G is more than enough.  I used to get away with 512M of
memory and still being able to build an entire root/boot system on it.  Mind
you that was over 15 years ago.

 BP> will google more on them, to make a choice later with it

A good idea.  I am liking the looks (and prices) of the C3000 series.  I was
thinking about Xeon-D's but after checking the new Atoms out I now am changing
my thinking.

 BP> now have kernel 4.13

Below is what my newest experimental system is sporting on the 8 core Atom;

Looks to be working.  I planned to use it for when gcc-8 is released but after
playing with it I might actually make it my default boot.  Offhand the 2.13
kernel seems better than the 2.12's.  We'll soon find out.

Life is good,
Maurice
