Re: [orca-list] Mini PCs with linux?

[Simon Eigeldinger <simon eigeldinger vol at>]

Hi Peter,

Yes i have a raspberry pi 1b which still works and a raspberry pi 3 
which i seldom use at the moment.

Maybe i should install that on the pi and see how it performs.
i am sure it would be slow because of the sd card.

Greetings,
Simon
