I gave up, at least for the moment, and just went with the production Rails 4.1.6 version which went in without a problem.

Sorry - some reason I'm wondering what I could use this for.....

Well it is a small, quad core, low power desktop computer that you can run Android, Linux or Windows on. So mostly anywhere that you need a low cost, low power desktop.

I guess since I haven't followed the technology much, I am missing something. My take is that it's a USB device,.. But it's a desktop. But it doesn't make sense to plug it into my desktop to run a desktop... sorry.. Seems like a dense question I know.

It is actually a HDMI device that plugs into a monitor and is powered via USB (at least from what I am seeing).

Only looks like USB. That's the monitor output that you see.

AH! - Okay. That makes a tad bit more sense. Hmm.. I'll have to make a note of that,.. and see. I have the 32" TV at the house that doesn't get much use...

Elastix has been keeping VERY up to date on Asterisk, just not other packages.

They just rub me the wrong way with the support cycle anymore. Really regretting using Elastix back in March for this last roll out.

Anyone else adding Chromebooks or Chromeboxes to their lineup recently?

Oh wow seems like @Dominica and I were talking about this show a few months ago. I haven't watched it in years!

It was a good show. I used to watch it whenever we were traveling in Canada, which was very often, when I was young.

It makes sense as both have a lot of stack in the Chromebook game. Intel wants to move processors and AMD is currently weak in the Chromebook space (but for how long) and Samsung is very strong in the CB space while being weak in the traditional laptop space. So they both want to see Chromebooks succeeding for their own reasons.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the link.

I'm not a fan. I do, however, have a huge crush on Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), so whenever the family are watching episodes with her in it I tend to join them.
