Raspberry Pi Collector Alternative
There still isn’t an ARM release of the Collector available, so it cannot be installed easily on a Raspberry Pi, but every now and then there’s someone who wants to put a collector on a very small, inexpensive computer in order to support a small number of network devices or other equipment in a remote site or for other reasons.
Has anyone got a favorite intel-based single board or very inexpensive computer they’ve used for this?

·3 years agoYou can buy five scrap laptops at Discount Electronics for $100. You’re almost guaranteed to get at least 2 that have enough juice to run a small collector.
