14th of July

As mentioned in my previous post the Raspberry Pi foundation released the model 4 B along with a pre-release version of Debian Buster. Buster got released by Debian on the 6th of July.

I put Raspbian Buster on an old Pi 1 model B because it wasn't doing anything. As I run the Pi's headless (no screen and keyboard) it looks the same as before. They've had a couple of updates to the kernel since the initial Raspbian Buster release. Its painfully slow doing these on the model B.

Now that things have settled down I am progressively upgrading the compute nodes (4 Pi3's and 12 Pi3B+) to Buster. This is time consuming as I clean install each one rather than upgrading them.
