[Sheflug] Raspberry Pi 5
Hi
For anyone who might be interested. I've been thinking for some time
that I should replace an old AMD64 workstation with something that is
more up to date. Came to the conclusion that a Raspberry Pi 5 would do
everything that I wanted it to do as long as it had 1Tb of storage
space. I've finally been able to get it to work with a Pinebery Pi top
hat and with Jeff Geerlings instructions....

Problems ? The Pi 5 is a bit choosy about which NVMe SSD it likes. I've
been able to get a Kingston 2230 NVMe to work which came from Amazon.
Works fine with Raspbian. So, I'm going to try Ubuntu next. Not sure if
that's going to work..

You might like to know that Pimoroni have a bottom hat for NVMe drives.
Depends whether you want a bottom or a top hat. No sign of a Pi 5 case
so far that will take a bottom or a top hat. Well, you can find a case
but no way of fixing it in place with brass posts. All the brass posts
and cases are just the wrong size.
