Don't people have microSD cards laying around? I do. Threw away 2 last week because they wore out sometime in the last year. The vast majority of MicroSD storage I have is load once, use for 3+ yrs. For the OS, a $9 Endurance Samsung microSD is fine. Just don't keep anything local that doesn't need to be local.

Performance is doubling almost every new Pi version, but it is still so far behind what a cheap Intel can do, it would be foolish to try an cluster multiple Pis. Setup a $200 Intel box with 5-15 VMs and learn clustering that way. It will be faster AND cheaper.<br><br>We won't get to take kewl-photos with blue lighting using VMs.<br>There are always exceptions, so some people might have great wifi. I've just never seen it. The desktop performance might be fine too. Just depends on the workload. OTOH, with an Intel/AMD with 3000 passmarks, we don't have to worry too much. It will work fine for most desktop needs. Video editing probably wants 10K-20K passmarks and 16G of RAM - about a $400 box these days.<hr>Ale mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ale@ale.org" target="_blank">Ale@ale.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale" target="_blank">https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale</a><br>See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br><a href="http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo" target="_blank">http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo</a><br></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Computers amplify human error<br>Super computers are really cool</div>_______________________________________________<br>
