It's an rpi in a VESA enclosure mounted to the back of a lenovo monitor. Highly recommended! On Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 8:19 AM, James A. Robinson wrote: > Ah, that's too bad.

The reason I keep talking about the RPi is that I know it's (mostly) supported and I can buy it from a reseller that I (mostly) trust. :) I was looking at putting together a system for a file server, and I've come to the conclusion that I'll have to build it myself, based on what has been written here and online about what is supported. If I could have just purchased a specific model of computer pre-built, I would have done that. 20 years ago it was fun to build my own plan 9 cluster from parts I assembled, these days I'm not as into that as I used to be!
