Look the odroid boards :-)

http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/main.php

from credit card size to 10x10cm different siuzes (with different connectors
on the board and different costs) are available

here a nice gpio expansion module (that sure can be used with other boards
via usb cable):

I was thinking about odroid x2
1.7GHz Exynos4 Quad Development Platform
ODROID-X2 open development platform is based on Exynos4412 Prime 1.7GHz ARM
Cortex-A9 Quad Core with 2GB memory. Enjoy PC-like performance.
KEY FEATURES
* Low-cost development platform
* 1.7GHz Quad core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore
* 2GB Memory
* 6 x High speed USB2.0 Host port
* 10/100Mbps Ethernet with RJ-45 LAN Jack
* Android 4.x & Ubuntu BSP

Or the odroid u2 if you can live with fewer connectors but need a cheaper
solution with a small form factor

Agree and applaud it Jerry.  It's easy for those of us who are
interested to sign up and keep the focus on R-Pi here.  Since so many
questions are specific to the hardware and software distro I think this
makes great sense.

While I love the Pi as a learning tool and what the Foundation is doing
with it, this is a fast-moving world and when $50 will buy PC-on-a-stick
products like the MK808 with dual-core CPUs, built-in wi-fi, USB OTG and
more, we're going to see more and more inexpensive computing options
that should be very exciting.

Ok lets pass Policy... 

 

Lets keep this group focused on the Raspberry Pi as originally intended..!  

 

Sorry I guess it is time to stop gyrating and make a decision..

 

Sorry for all the mass confusion...

 

now Back to the Raspberry Pi!!!

I don't thinbk you're outnumbered at all, Bob. Calling something that was only available to vote on, for a couple of hours a poll. Is laughable.
As is the idea of calling something a Raspberry Pi group and then cluttering it up with some random assortment with other boards.

If it goes ahead. I'm 100% certain that somebody will start another group, just for the RasPi

Gareth - GW4KJW

So what was the point of a 2 hour poll?
Put it back up and let it cook for a couple of days.

Kristoff... You did nothing wrong.. No Apology needed.. You asked a very good
question, that needed to be addressed..
I did hastily post a POLL. I should not have until I better understood my own
thought pattern, and for that I apologize to all..


Back to the RPi World..

Agreed... Poll too short to capture good data.

Should stay Pi only...

For what's its worth, as a newbie, I'd vote to keep the group pi-centric. 
Plenty to discuss / explore in Pi alone.

I am up to Chapter 9, "The Pi as a Web Server" in Eben's book and I have run
into a problem Installing WordPress.  When I put the following command:  "sudo
bash /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress localhost"    I
get the following error..
bash: /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql: No such file or directory.
If anybody is using the same book and has run into the same problem, how have
you solve it.
Thank you.

I've gotten a few programs going on the Pi but I'd like to try the
Java based "Yet Another APRS Client" on this.  I have it on there easy
enough from my thumb drive but I have yet to find a good HowTo on Java
installation.  Any help?  Thanks!

BTW I have this running fine on Windows XP and this guy has made the
best APRS implementation I have ever seen.  It is still in Beta but
works well.

Take a look.  There is a Yahoo group for it as well.

Does the file exist and do you have permission to access/modify the file?
Which user are you running as?

You cab try

sudo find / -name setup-mysql

to find the file or directory, in case it exists and the install script is wrong.

It may be that the script setup-mysql is there but it does not have exec permissions...
Then chmod +x setup-mysql
would help...

My 2 cents :-)

No, that merely means that the mysql *client* is installed.  The server is a
separate package.  The client will prompt you for the password before it even
tries to connect to the server process.

You've run 10,000 different permutations of find for people on here and none of
them have turned up anything.  Find isn't dependent on a database or anything,
so if it was there, it'd show up.  Your attempt to install the mysql-server
package failing shows that there's definitely something wrong there and it's
very likely that the mysql-server package isn't there.  You can check by
executing:

sudo dpkg --get-selections mysql-server

If it's not installed, it'll show something like:

dpkg: no packages found matching mysql-server

You might want to check to make sure your package lists are up to date by
executing:

sudo apt-get update

and then try to install the mysql-server package again.

I installed dselect (sudo apt-get install dselect) as I like dselect
to browse the package archive... and I confirmed the package is named
mysql-server

I have just noticed that it is not a problem of the mysql-server package...
It is on the "wordpress" doc package
(/usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql)
Have you installed the wordpress package?

I am installing the wordpress package just now... for a check...
sudo apt-get install wordpress

[... some minutes after ...]
It installed MANY packages (as my raspbian installation was clean (I
have my raspberry since last weekend!)) but I think I got the problem
and... I have a solution.

If you do:
ls  /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples

You will see that the setup-mysql in gzipped... so you should uncompress it.
gzip -d will do the job.
Now, you should have the file you are looking for...

I my case I enter:
sudo bash setup-mysql -n wordpress 192.168.1.34

Then you have to modify the webserver configuration (if you did not do
it already) to point to your wordpress installation (in
/usr/share/wordpress).

Create the DB, config the /etc/wordpress/config- file...


Does it help?

Hello Jeremy,
	 I get the following message when I put your command:  sudo dpdg
--get-selections mysql-server    I get the following.
Sudo: dpkg--get-selections: command not found!

I also ran    sudo apt-get update    I run this quite often.
Thanks for your help

Hello Jaime,

Both of these were done long ago.
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server

also wordpress was installed long ago

sudo bash setup-mysql -n wordpress 192.168.1.110
gets me....    setup-mysql: is a directory

sudo gzip -d mysql-server     I get
gzip: mysql-server.gz  no such file or directory.

As you can see....I am very new to these Linux commands.
Thanks for you help
