   Yik. However on reflection all my Zeros are employed running fixed    
   applications that will never change.   
      
   Which rather calls into question why they need 'support' at all.   
      
   Getting hard to buy a non version 2 zero as well, my latest one is    
   Cortex-A53...   
      
   In short they run what they run, and if you want a desktop dont use a    
   zero or a Pi 2B...
