@cobito:

I had been working on the guide for over a week and finally uploaded the videos yesterday.

This time I published it on an external website: Raspberry Pi Guide

Incidentally, the server is running on a Raspi.

I would have liked to cover many more topics, but it was becoming endless and with the time I had, it's all I could cover.

I hope you find it interesting.

PD: I will improve the presentation over time. I'm sorry it was published in those ways.

What a nice present to return to the forum, thanks for the effort. I'm already eager to dive into one of these! And in the future "marry" it with an Arduino board and build a homemade flux capacitor

BTW, the guide link is offline now. Maintenance on the raspServer? ;D

Best regards!

It's back online, but both Cobito and I are victims of the "SD card-eating Raspberrys".

@Yorus:

Back online, but both Cobito and I are falling victim to the "SD-eating Raspberrys".

So what? Too much I/O? I say this because the other day while looking for documentation to set up a 24x7 BT client on a Raspberry, I came across a comment that strongly advised against P2P programs with the download directory on an SD, because it "stressed" them too much with the ins and outs of data.

[Yorus]

I don't know why, but the download directory was on an external hard drive and I had even tried moving the entire system except the FAT boot partition to the same drive, but the moment you have problems and have to use the "big button", the SD card's file system gets damaged.

For now, because of this, I've parked the Raspberry and gone back to the C7, which is as stable as can be.

[Elfo]

Look what happened… By chance searching for how to install Debian on the Airis Kira N7000 that El País screwed up for me a few years ago (it was supposed to be a gift for my godson) I came across this:

Extend the life of your SD card with debian | Kirbian

Some experiences and tips for systems based on Debian+SSD.

Let's see if it helps to shed some light!

[Yorus]

It's really not the same case, because it's not that it ruins the SD, the thing is that the file system gets corrupted especially when you turn off the gadget suddenly, having to reinstall everything. Unfortunately in my house it's rare that the lights don't go out once a week or every two weeks, so it would be a torment to have it as a server. That said, it doesn't seem to happen to everyone exactly, but neither are there few people to whom it happens.

Thanks anyway ;).

[Yorus]

Taking advantage of the holidays and not moving from home because they have to bring me the washing machine… I'm back in action.

I've read in some forums that Sandisk brand SD cards usually work very well with the Pi, so I've got one, and I've also tried this slightly tuned Debian:

http://www.linuxsystems.it/2012/06/raspbian-wheezy-armhf-raspberry-pi-minimal-image/

So far it's going well, I've even unplugged it treacherously and there have been no defects. We will continue testing.

[cobito]

Let's see if you can figure something out with that SD model. I haven't had time to test it yet :nono:

[Yorus]

Well, so far it has withstood three or four 'capón' blackouts without any problems. I will keep you updated, because the next test will be to set it up for torrents, but it will struggle to be at the level of the veteran C7, which has already completed two months of uptime.

Did you know that Fedora has a distro for the RPi, Pidora - Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix? I just saw it, I don't know what it will bring that's special.

Ahem, ahem! :ugly:

And while we're at it:

Raspberry Pi Disk Images

I have used:

@cobito:

Ejem, ejem! :ugly:

Jajaja, ya ves que últimamente ando un poco ignorante :facepalm: :ugly: a ver si alguien se anima a probarlo.

[cobito]

In case anyone is still playing around with Raspberry Pi, I have updated and expanded the guide.

I have completed the sections related to hardware configuration and overclocking. I have also tested new distros and desktop environments and I have done an extensive analysis of the board's performance by emulating an x86 machine: both by running different versions of Windows directly (Windows 3.11, 98 and XP) and in Wine on Linux x86.

All videos have been updated and obsolete information has been removed. As always, criticism, corrections and suggestions are welcome.

The link is the same and can be found in the first post of the thread.

Thanks cobito, by the way have you seen the new Pi Zero that comes out for about 5 dollars according to them, maybe you'll be interested.

Yes. I think it's an interesting model to carry out electronics projects. For the moment I have the B model and the 2 with which I can tinker what I need. I'll give the zero a try the day I need to integrate Raspberry Pi into a larger project.

hello everyone
yesterday I received the raspberry pi 2b
the cables and the 8 gs samsung micro SD
now I'm between installing:
Pidora or Raspbian
the first use will be this
http://www.fluceando.com/subiendo-videos-a-youtube-desde-la-raspberry-pi/
but I also want to play around;D
and I'm pretty bad at linux:wall:
which do you recommend
thanks

Pidora is the compilation for ARM of Fedora, a distro focused on experienced users. Moreover, there is not much documentation and in general it is a development that does not receive much attention.

On the page you link, they are using Raspbian, a much more polished distro with, by far, more extensive support than Pidora not only because it is the most used on the board but also because practically all the documentation on Debian (which is a lot), is applicable to Raspbian.

So if you don't want complications, use Raspbian. If you want to experiment, use Pidora. And if you want to have an operational desktop system for day to day use along with running the script you link, use Ubuntu Mate. Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian and there should be no major problems in applying the same procedures as in Raspbian.

HELLO EVERYONE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

well I already have the toy working
but I have a question,
to play video (MP4) do I need to install XBMC or is there something for raspbian
regards and thanks

P.D is there something a bit more technical than just pulling the charger out of the raspberry to turn it off like a switch?
