   Hey Sean!   
      
    SD> one RPi 3B+ fully setup and working with Slackware/ARM just   
    SD> sitting here with nothing to do.   
      
   I used SlackwareARM, actually the SARPi Project, to build the first pure 64   
   bit aarch64-raspi3b+-linux-gnu which this reply is a product of.  I couldn't   
   come up with a use for it so fidonet compatibilty became the goal.  I do   
   occasionally use the wireless chip to provide an A channel wireless connection   
   for a chromebook that occasionally rears it's ugly head here from time to   
   time.  Other than browsing chromebooks are totally a waste of hardware in by   
   my latest guesstimation of them.   
      
    SD> The RPi 3B+ is surprisingly fast for such a little machine.   
      
   I started this latest upgrade on Sunday and just finished it yesterday   
   (Thursday) by installing it's latest kernel;   
      
   -={ ':read !uname -a' starts }=-   
   Linux armando 5.1.1-raspi3b+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 16 17:21:26 UTC 2019   
   aarch64 GNU/Linux   
   -={ ':read !uname -a' ends }=-   
      
   On the main x86_64 I can usually pull off a base custom install in around two   
   days, from toolchain to final boot product.  However that isn't a full 24 hour   
   day(s).   
      
   I am not sure if I'd buy any more of these but if I do it'll probably become a   
   cluster of aarch64-raspi3b+-linux-gnu's.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
