[00:23:59] <silver_hook> adj__: I already use it for a server and it is an improvement over my old DreamPlug.
[00:25:58] <silver_hook> But I wonder if it makes sense to e.g. dedicate one Lime2 for PostgreSQL, another one for Owncloud (and connect to the Postgres one), a further one for some other webapps etc., maybe some duplication
[00:26:29] <silver_hook> I admit that this may be just crazy talk…
[00:32:29] <lukas2511> kinda depends on what you want it for, if you want it to play around with sure, go ahead, but if you want it to really have more overall performance it may be wiser to invest in a small x86 box (like an intel nuc)
[00:33:49] <silver_hook> Meh
[00:34:17] <silver_hook> What about these instead: http://www.96boards.org/products/ee/
[00:40:47] <adj__> silver_hook, if you want a high-end arm4 board look at this: https://www.xcase.co.uk/products/gigabyte-mp30-ar1-with-appliedmicro-x-gene1-processor
[00:41:29] <adj__> for a light load armv7 with gbit ethernet and sata lime2 is good enough
[00:41:53] <silver_hook> adj__: Neat, is it worth it compared to x86?
[00:43:21] <adj__> silver_hook, it has 2 x 10GbE + 2 x GbE, 8 DIMM slots and 6 SATA III onboard
[00:43:34] <adj__> and 8 core arm64 included
[00:43:35] <silver_hook> Price-wise, I guess not, but consumption-wise it seems much nicer.
[00:43:49] <silver_hook> Sooo, proper server? :3
[00:44:12] <adj__> how much cost a x86 board with 2 x GbE + 2 x 10GbE?
[00:46:11] <adj__> look at this http://www.anandtech.com/show/8357/exploring-the-low-end-and-micro-server-platforms

[00:17:35] <adj__> silver_hook, lime2 has decent Gbit Ethernet and (slow) SATA, so no bad for a low power single board ARM computer. About that software, I don't really know[00:23:59] <silver_hook> adj__: I already use it for a server and it is an improvement over my old DreamPlug.
