Robert, I'm considering setting this up and testing. Currently working on an x86-64 Nodejs server, when I ran into that. Taking notes for setup so should be pretty much a copy paste experience for the BBB. On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 10:42 AM, William Hermans wrote: > hmmm . . . > > https://nodejs.

4.x is the new LTS version whilst 5.x is "stable". I would stick with 4.x and it is a HUGE improvement over the older versions as they have now merged with iojs which kept up to date with V8 improvements. Lee On Thursday, December 10, 2015 at 6:26:15 PM UTC, William Hermans wrote: > > Scratch
