someone want to help me install the wallet on my raspberry pi model B+ ? I bought one for shits and giggles and am having trouble even installing the damn wallet haha.

Which linux distro are you running?

Raspbian.  it was the recommended one that came with it.  What would you recommend?

Try ubuntu - i did this about a year ago (maybe 10 months)

I dont have the device anymore. But mine worked in the past.

I've had ubuntu machines in the past so I kind of know my way around them.  I essentially just want it to run my wallet as opposed to my old laptop.  As soon as Rev 2 comes out in a few days, I will want to be running myself an Xnode and the pi will be perfect for it  Grin

I actually have my eye on this:

How many VM can you run with that?

Well, i'm no expert, but I can safely run 2 total with the limited memory - i can probably push it to 3. Celerons aren't what they used to be a few years ago. My buddy has this same chromebox and he watches videos on it via netflix and some stuff he downloads
There is a higher end chip with more memory available, but the price goes to $400 and I dont want to spend that much (I have 2 kids and im a single dad, every penny counts Smiley  )
