UBUNTU 64-BIT Pi 3 VERSIONS

    I gave up on the project before the B+ came out and I still don't own a Pi 4 but here are my images for the Pi 3B. They all use an ARM v8.2 optimized 4.9 kernel I compiled on my Gentoo laptop. Also note I built it from scratch on Zesty so the 17.10 and 18.04 versions are pre-release and you'll need to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get the proper release-version packages.

    Unlike previous versions which imitated Raspbian, I went my own way with this one. There is no pi user. Default administrator account is raz with password ubuntu2017 and there's a non-admin account called surfer with password silver.

LEGACY 32-BIT Pi 2 VERSIONS

    Readers of 2600 The Hacker Quarterly may have noticed an article on page 23 of the Summer 2016 edition titled "$35 Hacking Machine" by some l33t h@X0r named InsideJob. This is a summary of those PELinux versions:

2.2 GB ZIP file expands to a 7.2 GB IMG file so make sure you have 10 GB free on a filesystem that supports big files. Most flash drives use FAT which has a 2 GB file size limit.

All versions except R3 came with an Apache web server installed by default. If you don't need it you should probably get rid of it. Personally, I also had little use for Nagios. I really did like the BOINC app I had in the "touchscreen edition" that accidentally got lost, though. Distributed computing is a great way to leverage a bunch of under-powered computers, like Raspberry Pis.

* KNOWN BUG

Locales package doesn't update correctly. To fix:

sudo cp ~/Public/pelinux/patches/locale.gen /etc/

sudo locale-gen

MEMPRO AND CLKPRO

I see there are copies of both of these still floating around the Interwebzes. Please keep in mind that when I wrote Memory Display Pro in 1992 most PCs had 8 megs of RAM and most motherboards maxed out at 16 megs. Memory was very expensive. The trick I used freed unlocked discardable blocks and then compacted memory down, creating a single contiguous region of memory that the next program could be loaded into. Essentially it was a memory defrager. Unfortunately I never actually tested it on a computer with 32 megs of ram or more and there's an error in the auto-compaction routine that can cause an endless loop. Almost all monitors at the time were also 96 dpi and there's another bug that causes both programs to display improperly at 120 DPI.

Put the file in the same dir as other maps then you can load it from the edit console. Lightmap doesn't save properly for some reason so immediately regenerate it, fast method is fine. There's a media room in the skyscraper with a light bulb on the ceiling I used to test the lightmap... outside in sunlight you can't tell a difference.

I submitted this map for inclusion in the "Justice Edition" but was rejected.

A couple little easter eggs: There's a spring board in the tree house that can plop you down in the water tank on top of the skyscraper. And there's an underground nuclear reactor and a water cooling system. You can swim through the cooling system but don't fall into the reactor room.
