In my opinion, yes. There's a dearth of so-called "server-class" hardware, which have such useful characteristics like "large amounts of RAM", "decent memory cache", "fast I/O", "PCIe lanes", and so on. The development boards typically are very I/O constrained and have limited amounts of RAM, making them less useful than emulation for doing builds. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
