    Easiest way to try Linux

    If you only have a Windows PC and Android MiniPC but you would still like to try out Linux then simply download and unzip one of the following files appropriate to your MiniPC and write the image to an SD card using 'Win32 Disk Imager' on Windows. Once you have written the image just put the SD card into your MiniPC and turn on the power. If you are a Linux user and want to try out one of these images then just write it to an SD card using 'dd if=UNZIPPED_FILE_NAME of=/dev/sdX bs=4M' where 'X' is the disk name and 'UNZIPPED_FILE_NAME' is the file name.

    I'm providing five options:

    Minix Neo X7 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...npXdTZYUjhOX1U
    PQ Labs A350-SSD - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...TJXM2VZaGtMT2c
    Radxa Rock - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...GNUakZFenNLRVU
    Rikomagic MK802IV New (AP6210) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...mIyLTl4Z3ZFRmc
    Rikomagic MK802IV Old (8188EU) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...jVGRG14aGVoLVE

    Just a reminder that the Linuxium user password is 'p' (without the quotes) and that a root password can be set by entering 'sudo su -' and then 'passwd root' in a terminal window. You can expand the file system to utilise the whole SD card by entering 'echo -e "d\nn\np\n1\n81921\n\nw" | sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0' then rebooting and entering 'sudo reseize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1' to complete the resizing and Mali hardware acceleration can be enabled by entering 'sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/xmesa-egl'.

    Enjoy!

    Hi, I'm hoping that there's someone out there who might be able to tell me how it is that Linuxium is making these. I've tried to get ahold of him a few times, but have always failed. As many of you know right this second I am in China, at the market where these things are designed, tested and built (and destroyed) I am trying to create a build toolchain that allows users to compile ROMS at will.


    Having talked to a number of vendors & manufacturers about the software situation here, I think I actually may be starting a consulting serivce to help manufacturers ship devices with passable ROMs. As we all know, the problem certainly isn't the hardware.

    Anyway, I'll be posting a ton of pictures and the like on Google+ later. google.com/+jacobgadikian

    See y'all next time.... Internet is too crap with soo many wifi networks that at the moment, I can't even download one of these roms to work on.

              @taki,
              you need to add your kernel .config file to /lib/modules/3.0.36+/build/.config.
              If your kernel has config.gz support builtin you can get it on the terminal with:

              cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > running.config
              rename to .config
