in UP Board Linux
I did not think the default Ubuntu server would boot on it. But ti does.

Used this one: ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso

I thought would have to mod the OS some but wow just installs and works!

Updating it now. So I just have the log in when it boots. It's a little server. Going to install things yet.

    Just got phpsysinfo installed and it's neat to see the info on this up board. I did a screen shot of it.



    Nice small board!

    Got the 4GB RAM one and I all so have a Intel compute stick "STK2MV64CC" type that has 4GB of RAM all so.

    The phpsysinfo on both them don't show the same. On the Intel stick it shows:

    3.73 GiB

    But on the UP board shows:

    3.28 GiB

    Why is that? I guess they should say the same. Both 4GB of RAM.

    Hi Raymond,

    Glad to se you working on a small UP based server.

    On the UP board 4GB there are 512MB dedicated by default to the GPU but you can change it from the BIOS menu.

    Went in the BIOS and set the GPU for as low RAM as can be.

    Now phpsysinfo for RAM is saying more! 3.77 GiB now.

    Thank you. I did not think of the BIOS. Not sure what key I press to get in the BIOS.

    But this Ubuntu server boots fast. I counted 18 sec.

    This board seems to be working real good.
