[conspire] Wondering about the "parallela" Ubuntu board

[Ken Bernard]

Hi All-
I haven't been to the CABAL install days at Rick's for some time, about a
year and a half I guess (longer??). I have been without a Linux box for
about 6 months, and am looking for something to put a Linux distro on. I
would probably want to use Inkscape (SVG drawing prog.) and some music
creation software (edit WAV files and create songs saved as FLAC.)

I ran into an article about a low cost ARM based board running Ubuntu. A
Parallela board, offered by Adapteva, and I wonder what you as a group
think about it. I need to know if it I could get it to work. (Rick "get it
to work" means that it would be easy and simple get it running and
configured. That I could use it for tasks mentioned above. Also that it
would be easy to maintain, for someone with slight Linux technical
knowledge beyond comfort with the Gnome and KDE desktops.)

Please see:

Thanks much,
Ken Bernard
