Hello,
As advised in this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-arm&m=139894585630709&w=2
I am looking for a netbook that would suit my needs.
I am currently hesitating between buying an Acer aspire
One 725 and a Lemote Yeelong. Yeelong is more open-source,
I like the lack of closed BIOS.
Unfortunately, some (heavy) binaries I would need are not
in mips64el,such as icedtea-web or conkeror, both needed
to browse on-line libraries djvu.
Both of these depend on xulrunner, which doesn't build on mips64el.
I think I should stick with FAQ suggestions of avoiding
compilations and choose an amd64, but to be sure:
How long would Yeelong compile heavy apps from ports
like jdk?
jdk-1.7 took about one second on my yeeloong:
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.7/ && make build
==> jdk-1.7.0.55p1v0 is only for i386 amd64, not mips64el (loongson) .
Of course, at the end of that second, I didn't have Java.
The yeeloongs are a single core 800 MHz machine. Building things will
take much much longer than you're used to if you've only been using
modern i386/amd64 machines.
I think you need to reevaluate what you're looking for in a machine.
Thanks,
Damien Thiriet
