From TWUUG

  • Mark Davis gave a presentation on the Minix Neo G4 which is an Android/Linux "stick computer" running a rockchip system on a chip. The market is actually flooding with various tiny ARM-powered machines. This particular one is currently running Android 4.0 and seems to be targeted for TV use with dual core 1Ghz Cortex, A9 HDMI, dual USB, b/g/n WiFi, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 8GB flash, micro SD slot, IR remote.
  • Scott Brelin gave a presentation on dual/triple/chain booting with MBR. Mark Davis also added some info about how it is moving to GUID and getting really complicated now.
  • Jason Cooper donated a door prize of a fairly recent and complete tower computer, which was won by Neil Postal!
