All,
I have been running my N6WS-2 DXSpider node for the past 1-1/2 years on
a Raspberry Pi. During contest weekend the system resources would be
severely taxed. Running simple queries for specific DX stations would
take longer than I would like. In fact, some searches would not be seen
on a normal screen because they would be displayed followed by 20-30
normal spots which would scroll the query result off the top of the
screen. This was particularly true if you opened all filters and
displayed normal spots and RBN spots.
I had a CuBox-i4Pro I was using as a media center, and decided to try it
as a replacement for the Raspberry Pi. The CuBox-i4Pro has a 4-core
1GHz processor and 2GB of RAM versus the single core 700MHz processor
and 512KB in the Raspberry Pi.
I have drafted a set of installation instructions for the CuBox-i that
are adapted from the Raspberry Pi instructions on my http://www.n6ws.com
website. The instructions can also be directly accesses using the:

Since this is a draft set of instructions, please provide any feedback
on any corrections necessary or desired.
The N6WS-2 node is accessible at:
telnet://n6ws.no-ip.org:7302
Please try it, and let me know if you feel the performance is adequate.
TU, 73, & Happy Holidays,
