It uses a SD card for storage, but beyond that, it could be a desktop/server replacement (albeit a bit slower than a gaming rig), it will happily run apache, bind, php, dhcp, etc..
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. -- 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
