Worked well, but keep in mind it's alpha right now.  When I finished setup it automagically detected and connected my wifi printer. I think it's worth a shot. Went back to manjaro though but I think it's just cuz I prefer it.

In the 1st post, linked thread, this line, last word is link

I went ahead and ran the build script and have the compiled image here.

Still seems to be there
And, let me point out, it is xz compressed, if a bit flips, it WON'T extract, will error out
OR, belt & suspenders,, xz -t xz-image

Also, endeavor OS might work on our device if you want an Ubuntu flavor. I might try it out when I have time to go through all the flashing.

Got it, sorry to be a dummy. Found it this time...

I'll pay $10 - I thought it wanted me to sign a $10 per month recurring thing.... I swear it said recurring, just FYI - but maybe I'm in the wrong... don't take my word for it.

I'll also pay $10 gladly - it seems like they are working on supporting an Elementary build anyway, I heard on a PodCast today an Elementary team guy was on it.

I'll check into the Elementary website again... if its a one time donation, I will send it to them; heck, its worth that for the nightly builds and anything beneficial that comes up as they develop it.

Thanks for telling me that, too - cause I was gonna be over it.

I think it is a monthly thing but if course you can cancel it. Just go to your subscriptions tab in PayPal and cancel.

Well... I did find a build from late August - and... its pretty darn good. I mean this flavor of Linux is a bit vanilla for me - BUT its Ubuntu, and certainly seems to be performing well on the PBP... 

I understand what you're saying about the donation cancel thing; and I think I'll at least throw them a tenner. Its money well spent, and hopefully they see some interest (and $$$) from the PBP community. Whether or not this will find its way to a production use for me is to be determined... but its really nice. Also, it could be another build for other users; my kids, a linux novice, etc etc. 

Elementary is looking pretty nice on the PBP. Last mention here, I'll go donate to them and get the most current build of Elementary, and make the IMG available for download somewhere; posting the links here.  Hope that helps the next person wanting to take a look - If ya'll use it, send them the $10. We could possibly stagger them so we always have the next weeks build - they say they release once a week.
