Hallo Benny!

 BP> is ther raspberry pi without arm cpus ?

No but there is an Atomic Pi which is an Intel based system; x5-z8350 Atom.  That makes it compatible with the standard x86_64 based Linux distributions.  Personally I don't care much for it for the same reasons as the rasperry pi's.

 BP> sure just PXE boot then :)

No thank you.  I can wait until something better comes along.  If the raspi4b with 8G ram lost the onboard wifi it would be more attractive to me at this point in time.  I'd muuch prefer adding my own wifi that had connectors for external antennas and can handle the kernel's wireless mesh (802.11s).

 BP> just remember not to uninstall termux now, this will delete all
 BP> your work

Yes I know but thank you for the heads up.  At the moment I am still waiting for the bluetooth keyboard which they tell me should arrive today or at least before the end of the week.  We'll soon see ... I hope.

 BP> it will be a dream machine in the pocket :)

Unless you have very big pockets a 10" tablet won't fit.  With my eyesight I require a bigger display to be able to read it.  However whatever works on the tablet should work on a smartphone that will fit in a pocket so all is not lost.

 BP> the desktop could stay in shell, all i need

I agree ... or as you say +1.  :-)

We should be in business very soon.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
