Hola Effy! It’s good to hear you again.
After telling you about something good (APL), I have some misery to recount.
Since last writing I have started to set-up a rasperry pi. Strictly this is not a Linux project, but it is an open source one.
I am trying to get the pi to run on risc os, an OS specially written for the pi’s processor, some of it hand crafted in assembler. I have an sd card with risc os flashed on it. However, the dear little pi does not recognise all sd cards so
(as I was saying before the key bump) the Pi does not recognise all sd cards. I will have to buy an approved sd card with risc os on it. What a swizz!
If you get RISC OS to work though, let us know your experiences with it! I keep meaning to try it out, but apparently it has no WiFi support, and I can’t easily hook up my Pi to Ethernet (router is too far away in my flat).
The pi 3 has quite a sensable collection of ports. I expect to go online soon after installation.
Hello Effie. Favourite browser Palemoon.
I now have the riscos sd card, but my hdmi monitor, a telly, seems to be broken. I will need a new monitor, or a hdmi rgb converter, for my old monitor. Delays Expected.
