Home-Brew PortsMeteohub has been tested and ported on "official" platforms NSLU2, ebox 2300/3300/4300, fit-PC Slim, ALIX.1D/3D2 and SheevaPlug. On these platforms Meteohub can be easily installed by a predefined disk images. You will not need any Linux knowledge to do this. Taking a generic x86 version of Meteohub an advanced Linux user might have the option to install Meteohub on other x86 platforms as well. If you have an unused, low-power, old PC somewhere around, this might be converted into a Meteohub system without too much of an effort, as far as you are quite familiar with Linux and the processor is at least a 486 type. You will find a documentation how to do this here: OS_Obligations#Meteohub_on_x86_Platforms. Please understand that "meteohub.de" cannot support you when trying an installation on unknown hardware. You will need some in-depth Linux knowledge to get it working. As Linux itself and meteohub installation scripts are completely open, this can be done when you have sufficient Linux skills. Good Luck! |
