It sat for a few weeks on my computer desk...tonight decided to give it a go...
Low power server, even though the main OS drive is only 2 Gigs
Hooked it to my sons DVI monitor, keyboard, mouse, and wired ethernet. Used an Ubuntu Mate live CD, formatted the 2GIb SSD card that was built in with Gparted, then downloaded and installed balena etcher, and the x86-64 image directly...then used it to burn it straight to the SSD, no media or burning to a USB drive.
Upon reboot came right up like it had been there all along!
I guess I could always find a larger SATA DOM plugin for the main OS...but so far so good with 2GIb...
I did put a 16Gib USB2.0 USB to move user data...but will be getting a larger 64GIb USB3.0, or maybe even use a USB3.0 to SATA adapter...who knows
All I know is I didn't know what I wanted to do with this little guy, and now I know I have a pretty beefy little rig that is rather powerful!
