   Hello All,   
      
   Well, after a bit of confusion and a lot of time, the RPi 1 is up and running    
   with Slackware/ARM.  It's no speed demon: it took nearly four hours to set up    
   Slackware when on a normal desktop, it takes less then 20 minutes.  But it    
   does work.  The RPis do not have a RTC on them so I have ntpd set up to run    
   upon startup.  The experiment was successful so I've ordered a RPi 3+ (a    
   quad-core 1.2gHz with 1GB RAM) which should be orders of magnitude faster than    
   this RPi 1.   
      
   So hopefully the newer RPi I will be able to use for my shack computer.  I'll    
   order a RTC chip to put onboard as with ham radio, timing stuff is sensitive    
   and I don't want to make any mistakes.   
      
   This is just an excuse to tinker. :D   
      
   I am trying to get the shack cleaned up and organized so I can bring out my    
   Kenwood TS-430S and use it next to my Yaesu FT-450D.  No sense in having it    
   sit there and rot on a shelf.   
      
   Later,   
   Sean
