Not if you take 100+ hours you'll have to spend to actually make it work

You think it'll take 100 hours to burn an ISO to an SD card and boot it??

Well I wouldn't say it does more than your average smartphone does, but it does it at an amazingly low price.

Uhm, yes?

There's a direct download link as well, but they're getting hammered, so use the torrent instead.

I am not going to bother explaining to you how this stuff works. I forgot you're some kind of backwards euroweenie.


For the rest of us, we like to, you know, read the main web site? Maybe... follow the links to some of the other distros to see what they're doing?


I dunno, you might even end up on youtube watching the link I posted more than 10 days ago now... *(hint hint nudge nudge)*

Tell me when you have it working, meanwhile I'll happily use my $250 HTPC
