Well yes, all of that's true, but would raspberrypi.org mind if Debian borrowed a copy of their scripts? I'm not a lawyer but I doubt it. Meanwhile the Pi has a userbase of millions. OpenBSD didn't even have locale at all last I knew, it's not that essential.
raspi-config isn't 3b specific, it works on my Zero. Speed usually comes at the expense of power consumption, I'm looking at running these on 18650 lithium batteries and making a tablet. They're mostly fast enough, Firefox isn't very efficient. That and Gimp are my 2 worst hogs. But I've run only Pis for 6 months or so. I have one amd64 laptop running because it's got an oversize battery that keeps it up through 3-4 hours of power outage, but it's just logging temperatures. Running Debian though. Locale on that looks the same: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= On 4/20/18, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > On Friday 20 April 2018 07:36:53 Alan Corey wrote: > >> So, you can't just bring up raspi-config?
