The speed you get out of this thing is astounding. It can easily serve as a low power desktop, sufficient to run chromium and Libreoffice, email and such.
It's performance is influenced by the quality and speed of the microsd card, so buy a good fast one.
I'm seriously thinking of moving my dhcp server, ntp server and a couple other things into the pi, and maybe have it also be an emergency/backup wifi AP. I could power it for days via my USB battery pack.
Its plenty fast enough for any or all of those, and I could periodically backup the microsd to a usb thumb drive, or my nas.
But the problem is, I'm having so much fun with it I really don't want to dedicate it to any one thing.
I'm using the default raspberian (debian) build. I don't see any reason co complicate my life chasing after opensuse on the Pi 3.
I couldn't have summed it up better :) Not to mention the weeks of runtime you would get from a standard UPS in the event of a power failure.
Making it into a wifi access point proved easier than I imagined: https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberry-pi-3-as-a-wifi-access-point-with-ho... -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
