   Hey Gerrit!

   Just as well since I probably avoid running whatever it is anyhow.  So far   
   everything has been behaving itself and there is definetly more than enough   
   ram, overkill I'd say.

   Understood.  However the two mini-servers currently being used here only have   
   an SSD which apparently is an issue for swap.  For any serious file storage I   
   have a server on the private LAN that takes care of regular sata drives as it   
   can hotswap them if and when it matters.  I suppose if push comes to shove I   
   could supply swap over the network but offhand I don't like this idea.

   No keyboard(s) on them.  Occasionaly a monitor to watch a new system boot up   
   but that doesn't happen too often.   
      
   On the one I am writing this reply on, I am using a ssh login from my main   
   workstation which is also on the private LAN.  Both the Brain and the   
   EuroPoint are running on wireless hotspots but there is no access from the   
   wireless interface.  That is just for the neighbours who need them to access   
   the internet with their smart devices, mostly smartphones.  So far the lack of   
   swap hasn't been a concern and probably has saved money given my frugal nature   
   of doing writes to their SSDs.  +20 years ago it was a bootable CompactFlash   
   that kickstarted this whole idea for me.  That was around 1999-ish.  No swap   
   then either.   
      
   Life is good,
