A lot faster.              O/S is Rasbian current version as far as I know and I run mbse as a back up /        parallel system.              I see no reason why bbbs should not work PROVIDING you can get a version for        ARM processors and even       better for the Pi.              You cannot use one for X64 Intel/AMD based CPU's.              If all that is good then just follow the instruction manual etc and look at        what extra libraries are       needed.                     Vince              --- Mageia Linux v7.1 X64/Mbse v1.0.7.13/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:2/21)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/100 227/114 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 292/854 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 712/848 770/0 1 100 330 340 772/0 1 500 2452/250       PATH: 250/1 261/38 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
