[Server-devel] [XSCE] Re: [UKids] Raspberri Pi/clone(s) most ruggedizable for OLPC fieldwork?

[Tim Moody]

Jerry could list the problems he's aware of.

But if you can get 64bit F24 running on Pine64, then you can use https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/wiki/XSCE-Installation#do-everything-from-scratch to install XSCE with ansible.  At that point you can tell us what works and what doesn't.

I ordered mine in Feb and am still waiting for delivery.
