C2 Ubuntu 16.04.1 image installed to Hardkernel eMMC 32GB

  Firefox running OK. Chromium installed and running OK. Both play html5 OK.   Very fast responsive desktop.   Very fast boot! ...from power on to desktop in 10 seconds! [no boot messages-is this by design?]   [Radio Tray install required pytho-xdg + python-notify]  
​
Memory usage running Chromium+radio tray;
 

 
playing with mpv...nice!
 

 
  LibreOffice writer ugly interface... was missing libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-style-tango (eg)

I will EDIT as uptime increases and any issues become apparent...
 
Uptime > 3 hours and nearing the end of testing for today.
Nothing more to report at the moment...all stable and running temp of 42C with light load and crappy temporary heat sink addition....aluminium case en route...
 
Uptime = 4.5 hours test reboot initiated and completed in 20 seconds!
 
Conclusion thus far = the fastest most responsive ARM image I have used to date.  
I have to keep reminding myself I am using such a small form factor as a desktop!
Stunning work Armbian team!
 
Note: peripheral = USB DAC HiFime 9018D

EDIT: I did shutdown for the night but all is well after a fresh 10 second boot...
EDIT#2: later in the day...C2 dev image still running stable...no issues to report
 
 
[next target is the xu4 dev image - looking forward to testing and reporting back]
