Hey Karel!
KK> Linux version 3.14.4.1-bone-armhf.com (buildd@build7)
It has been awhile so I don't recall exactly why there are currently no kv3.x machines currently operating in this particular location. kv4.4 is where I set the minimum supported kernel version for glibc as shown by;
KK> (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) )
I think that might have been the first version of gcc that required g++. Either that or it's the last version that DIDN'T require g++. If so then those were the days. I'll have to check sometime but I more than likely have it recorded somewhere. Also I have a few 2.5" 44-pin drives that just might have a version of gcc only custum build. I have an original 44-pin 2.5" SSD (they didn't call them that back then) manufactured by M-Systems which sold out to SanDisk. It is a 1G drive that cost way too much. I bet it still works but I haven't tried it in around a decade or more.

Pride and self respect.
KK> beaglebone operating some home devices
I considered a beaglebone back then but I don't recall exactly why I never bothered. I've currently have two x86_64's acting as wireless hosts that could easily be done by a beaglebone. Are they still making them? It would require a mini-pci(e) interface for wireless card. Also only needs 2.4GHz as they get the distance required with the antennas I am deploying.
Life is good,
Maurice
