   Hey Karel!   
      
    KK> Linux version 3.14.4.1-bone-armhf.com (buildd@build7)    
      
   It has been awhile so I don't recall exactly why there are currently no kv3.x   
   machines currently operating in this particular location.  kv4.4 is where I   
   set the minimum supported kernel version for glibc as shown by;   
      
     $ /lib/libc.so.6 | grep Minimum   
     Minimum supported kernel: 4.4.0   
      
    KK> (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) )   
      
   I think that might have been the first version of gcc that required g++.    
   Either that or it's the last version that DIDN'T require g++.  If so then   
   those were the days.  I'll have to check sometime but I more than likely have   
   it recorded somewhere.  Also I have a few 2.5" 44-pin drives that just might   
   have a version of gcc only custum build.  I have an original 44-pin 2.5" SSD   
   (they didn't call them that back then) manufactured by M-Systems which sold   
   out to SanDisk.  It is a 1G drive that cost way too much.  I bet it still   
   works but I haven't tried it in around a decade or more.

    KK> beaglebone operating some home devices   
      
   I considered a beaglebone back then but I don't recall exactly why I never   
   bothered.  I've currently have two x86_64's acting as wireless hosts that   
   could easily be done by a beaglebone.  Are they still making them?  It would   
   require a mini-pci(e) interface for wireless card.  Also only needs 2.4GHz as   
   they get the distance required with the antennas I am deploying.   
      
   Life is good,
