Re: [Astlinux-users] New PC Engines APU2 NIC x4

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

I use an APU2 with 4GB memory.... but only because I have a custom build of
Astlinux with QEMU enabled, and I run a Ubuntu 16.04 server on the same
box.  May sound like overkill but it does give me a full featured Linux on
which I can run other stuff.  I am using it for the Unifi controller s/w
but you could let your imagination run wild.

I doubt that Astlinux on its own would need more than 2GB anytime soon.
