@Franziskaner:

with all the possibilities that toy has …. I think that's the least of it

What's that?

[Franziskaner]

@cobito:

¿El qué?

that the next edition will come with webcam included.

I think it is more or less "easy" to add one as of today and the more extras they add …. the more expensive it will be.
if they keep going like this, soon it will have sata connector and will stop being what it is originally "a toy" for big kids ;D

The truth is that the 512MB topic gives it much more margin to use it as a media player... With 256 it was a bit tight when you loaded the X's and other things.

In my case, as I only use it for the download server, I wouldn't notice much change from 256 to 512.

I had also read about the webcam. I think it's good that they sell it as an accessory, although I wouldn't include it in the basic package...

In the same way that they have doubled the memory at no extra cost, perhaps over time devices could be added at no extra cost: webcam, microphone, accelerometer... It would give it incredible possibilities, even if all that can be incorporated afterwards.

That way, without raising the price.

When it arrives, I will tinker with it to the maximum, but its final destination is to become my download server, replacing my PC#4

psgonza and cobito, you'll tell me how it goes with the torrents that I might catch one (that is, with a guide for dummies, please)

[Tecnho]

+1 for that guide for dummies and see how it goes, maybe I'll go for the 512 one.

Regards.

[cobito]

If I don't get too late (before December), I will try to make a guide "of my own".

[psgonza]

I'm not much of a "documenting" kind of person (I do it for work reasons from time to time, and it drives me crazy ;)) but I can assure you that setting up a torrent client on the Raspi is a piece of cake.

I have no problem putting the necessary commands here if you're going to use them a few times. After all, it's a Debian and it's all very "common".

Anyway, here I leave you a page to install it with rutorrent...

Turn your Raspberry Pi into a small SeedBox for BitTorrent downloads | Incognitosis

I think that installing Apache and so many other things just for a torrent client doesn't make much sense, that's why I use transmission (which has GUIs) instead of ru-torrent.

My idea is to replace the server I have (now broken without a system disk)

Until now I had a "bare" xp with the download applications, the shared folders and the management by vnc or remote desktop

If there is an easy way to do it, I will think of it and "give" it to myself for Christmas

Mystique, I don't think you had any problem…

I had something like yours, a PC without monitor or keyboard or mouse, with a linux and running the download app, but the change is brutal. No more noises, no more big boxes.

You don't have to be a linux guru to set it up, although a "minimum" knowledge always helps of course.

What a lovely thing! :cry

[deeiivid]

What an amazing table u.U
Whoever found it… I need to start sleeping less and make more time for doing this kind of thing!

[cobito]

Well it still hasn't arrived and it's been almost 2 months (it said it would be available in 6 weeks).

I don't mind waiting, but I'm going to be away from home for over two weeks at Christmas and I wouldn't like to receive it and have the package returned because I wasn't there to collect it, so I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how much longer it could take?
2. How do you send it, by post?

P.S. I ordered it from RS.

Yumyum, 5 days…

Possibly the review will have to wait until February.

[cobito]

Muahahaahaha!!! I have it working now!!

As soon as I opened it, I started tinkering with it and I thought I had already broken it :llorar:

How beautiful everything looks, so many options, so many possibilities. I think I'm going to cry.

By the way, don't connect an HDMI-VGA adapter directly as it can burn the raspi!! I will explain how to modify it to work safely.

In two months you will have an in-depth review :fumeta:

[Tecnho]

Looking forward to seeing that tutorial review, and if cobito says in depth prepare an afternoon of reading XD.
