Hallo Benny!

 MK>> The entire x86_64-lmbrain-linux-gnu should be finished later
 MK>> today.

 BP> what ever this means for a server?

That is the host machine for the Atom based wireless access point and fidonet node known as "Little Mikey's Brain".  For my neighbours it means their smartphones and/or tablets can text message or facebook or whatever they do with those crippled devices.  For me it is one of my fidonet accesses.  I currently have two, one of which I am using to reply to your message.  Note the tearline below.  This machine is already up to date.

 BP> while it did not display any output could you ssh to it ?

I haven't done that in ages now.  Both x86_64-heatsink-linux-gnu and x86_64-lmbrain-linux-gnu lack monitors, keyboards and mice.  They do have sshd running on a private network where I access fidonet from x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu which has all the required hardware to play movies, music, etc.  It also has xorg which both the tiny single board computers don't.  They don't need a gui.

 BP> in that case of yes, disable optimized fbdevs :)

I could but it really doesn't matter other than to x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu where it is part of my testing procedure.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
