Your requirements are rather simple, I agree. Where it may become harder for a cheap hosting is the SSH and the SVN. SSH is something I used when I has having my domain hosted at GoDaddy. I took the Deluxe Hosting, which was a bit above US$120 per year. As I was not using it very much, I ca

I know this is quite late for such announcement, but I just found out now that I will have the car to attend tomorrow's meeting. If there is time for this, I could present, all interactively, the new Pine64 board, that was put on Kickstarter.com sometime ago already. I received it not long

Interesting Actually, when looking at the disk partitions when installing Ubuntu on the second disk (better, faster), I could see the partitions on the "Window$-esque" disk, and one partition had something about EFI in its type. So your response makes all sense now. Thanks :-) Quoting

I solved it, after some advice from yesterday's meeting. The first (and easiest) that I tried was to disconnect the Windows hard disk, and retry installing Ubuntu 15.10. I was surprised by a message about possible other UEFI installed OSes, although there were none. But from this message, I

Indeed, there is an HDMI connector on the device, but this is the "Micro-HDMI", or the smaller connector than the usual one commonly used on TV's. You will need an adaptor, just like you would need for the BeagleBoneBlack. In checking the status of the shipment from UPS, I saw that the pack
