Clarifying, this doesn't mean it can't run on AMD CPUs. Standard x86 and x86-64 processors are supported, as are AMD/ATI and nVidia GPUs. ID: 85653 · Reply Quote

It uses Linux based Broadcom processor and since it's low power requirements it's on 24/7 I don't think so, but you can try the Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry Pi 3: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ Or you can try out the Ubuntu Core. But I'm not sure its package manager has BOINC or not. https://www.ubuntu.com/download/core/raspberry-pi-2-3 ID: 85670 · Reply Quote

Along with both being able to install our needed daemon making it easier for new members joining my team. I guess we will find out if/when they fix the file perms of the folder the .iso's are apparently in or direct nginx to the correct directory? This has been apparently broken for 2 weeks since the post was made. posted on the 2nd and broken by the 2nd or 3rd? Can we get an administrator to fix this, people look at the news from the Boinc home page and I think its a bit of a turn off when the news does not work and gives you an error 404 from day 1. On another note, Thank you David Anderson we appreciate the effort and your work. ID: 85889 · Reply Quote
