Pimping the Olinuxino-A20 board

alexis.marshlab.gaertner.de got quite a upgrades, acquired in the the past days and assembled today: a sub-15 VGA adapter, an enclosure and, last not least, an SSD:

root@alexis:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders, total 234441648 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

The RIPE Atlas probe had to be relocated for this operation. Netwise, it's now hanging off an old 10 Mbit/s hub (sic!), good enough for that little amount of traffic the probe receives/generates. Power comes from fred, which is usually not running itself:
