Which Linux distributions are available?
You can currently boot your servers with the following distributions:
- Ubuntu LTS 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)
- Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn)
- Debian (7.8)
- Fedora 20
- Archlinux (rolling)
Other distributions are on their way. Also, Any Linux distribution with support of the armhf architecture should work out of the box.

Why can I post a image? @scottalanmiller @Minion-Queen

Huh I will have @scottalanmiller take a look at why that's not working.....
-
Working on getting my first server up now.
They force you to use a SSH Key. Interesting.....
-
No port of centos?
-
@MattSpeller Doesn't seem to be
That was my first issue. Ubuntu seems like the next logical choice. -
I googled around, but I can't seem to see if CentOS7 supports ARM. I am guessing not, or they would have it

There is a problem with the imgur plugin. It has been discussed in a few threads.
Greenshot on my desktop still autouploads to imgur just fine. So I doubt it was an imgur change, but instead a bug here with the 0.8.0 update.

Known issue with the Imgur plugin that is listed in the 0.8.0 thread. Waiting for them to fix it. Just link an image rather than uploading and everything works.

Anyone going to try this?

WordPress works much better on Scaleway then DO, do to the fact that you have 2GB of RAM.
Sadly I can't seem to get Screenconnect working

What OS are you trying?
I suspect that this is because SC does not support ARM architecture, almost no one does. You are pretty limited in offerings to install when you leave the AMD64 world.

Are you sure it is from the memory and not from the completely different processing situation. Different architecture, configuration, etc.

I know someone who tried it last week and wasn't impressed.
It was much slower than they expected. -
Since the architecture is ARM rather than AMD64, what we are likely to find is that for some things it performs well and for others it does not and that it is far less predictable than we are used to as the command paths are completely different and things aren't just faster or slower but completely different.

So you would not use it?

From what I have seen, what causes problems with WordPress isn't WordPress at all. It's the MySQL running out of memory. With 2GB, I am not running out anymore

SC does support ARMv7, however they don't support hard floating points, whatever that means....

All depends on need. I like ARM a lot and am very supportive of it. You just need to be aware that everything that you use must be compiled for it.
