It seems some are coming around recently, they're still fairly to mostly 
unsupported. While they have the aarm64 chips, I don't think any major distro 
developers every really wanted to do anything for them or get too involved, as 
with only 1gb ram there was really no major differences when running 64bit 
compared to just running the 32bit OSs.

And while running servers on these things, I don't really think I want to 
venture into unsupported operating systems at the moment either. I don't want 
more headaches at this time.

On the other hand, ODROID has had 64bit releases for quite some time now. So I 
would think they're a lot further along at least in the single board arena, and 
now that I've made the switch, I'm most likely not going back to running on a 
full desktop PC any more. I didn't expect it, but it was actually quite a big 
relief when I shut down the AMD 3700+ that had been running here for over 12 
years non-stop. I got used to the noise, which became louder and louder of the 
last couple years. It definitely hasn't been the same around here (noisewise) 
since it has been turned off. :)

Regards,
Nick
