don't understand what "as far as possible" should mean in this context. I don't see anything there that suggests it is or wants to be open hardware (http://www.oshwa.org/definition/)? but maybe i am missing something? or is it UD? > do you really want to ignore such a popular don't care about popular, otherwise I wouldn't use debian? > hardware platfform, because you think ‘something; might happen, with > no evidence to back up your claim, and contrary to the RPI foundations > aims you didn't ask me, but anyway: yes, i for myself will try to ignore it as long as it isn't open hardware and will continue to recommend boards listed at https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware and are marked as OSHW (especially I can recommend the OLinuXino A20 MICRO and LIME2) This reminds me of the discussion a few weeks ago... I really don't understand why one shouldn't recommend people to buy OSHW? Those boards cost around 50-70€ - why waste your time with closed hardware and support it that way then? jens _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
