Hi Folks - new member here. I've had several RPis over the past few years and gradually grew away from them, mostly due to unreliability. They seemed to go off into the weeds when left on for days at a time with no use. However I recently bought one of the new RPi 400 units for misc. tasks around my garage woodworking shop and possibly connection to an Icom IC-705. I have yet to connect it and power it up, but expect that'll happen later today or tomorrow.
Couple questions... first, how will I be able to tell what OS (32 or 64 bit) was supplied with the unit?
--> If it was the 32 bit version, is the 64 bit ready for prime time or is it best to wait a while?
--> I have a couple Mac Mini's in the shack that have gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Can I assume I can't VPN into them from the RPi if the RPi is only wireless - they have to be on the same network, right? Getting Ethernet to the RPi would mean poking a hole in the wall to the garage and I'm not sure the XYL would smile on that. I would like to VPN to the Macs because I have various files there that I'd like to see/use on the RPi.
Thanks in advance,
Jim / K7TXA (ex-W6JHB)
