Re: [Kicad-developers] Survey: what is the oldest PC machine that you currently use to work/develop?

If that is a "quite painful experience"... I am still using KiCad on some old D510 Atom board (only with integrated grahpics, 4GB RAM, Debian) on my bench. You won't probably do real development with it, but it is more than enough to view PCBs while soldering/debugging/etc... Regards,

[Kicad-developers] Survey: what is the oldest PC machine that you currently use to work/develop?

Hello all, since you are all talking about specs to run kicad... Just let you know some time ago I made a small survey [1] in two electronic forum asking what are the oldest PC machine that people are still using in their projects. Here is a list of that old machines: 10y old laptop: core2duo,

Re: [Kicad-developers] suggested resolution (and other specs)

While we are talking about graphics Has any testing been done within Virtual Machines? I believe we should support win/lin/mac hosts running VirtualBox, VMware, Parallels and at least linux as a guest. Also Xen should be supported. In my specific case, I am moving (all be it slowly) to

Re: [Kicad-developers] suggested resolution (and other specs)

I really think Pentium compatible is horrible terminology ever since Intel absolutely destroyed the name and now theres old generation I3s rebranded as Pentiums. Also a Pentium 3 probably can't be used with any of the required video cards. I personally would remove Windows XP. It is a dead and

Re: [Kicad-developers] suggested resolution (and other specs)

I had been running KiCad nightlies in a VMWare Windows 7 Guest on top of OS X about a year ago. It worked pretty well, no major issues. I blamed the occasional slowness to VM wonkiness and didn't let it bother me too much. I eventually switched to OS X native KiCad after I was able to get it to

This is certainly more comprehensive than our migration guile but he left out the one step that trips up users with translated layer names. That is the one thing we do have documented in our migration guide. I'm not opposed to asking the person who wrote this if they would be OK with integrating

Re: [Kicad-developers] suggested resolution (and other specs)

This seems like something we should have on our website although I'm not really sure what the practical lower limits would be. I personally am not interested in trying to get KiCad to work on 800x600 displays. If you want to spend you time trying to achieve this, by all means have at it. I
