@smcameron Hoping @ajroach42 can confirm my results, or at least give more numbers to work from as a base for recommending the Pi4 for this. 
@danhunsaker @smcameron in progress. Had to flash another SD card.
@smcameron @danhunsaker I dunno what the issue is, but I can't get my pi to boot right now. I'll fiddle with it some more tomorrow and let you both know how it goes.
@ajroach42 @smcameron Guessing you didn't end up having a chance to get back to this one. 
@danhunsaker @smcameron I ended up getting another pi 4. I think I might have fried this one the last time I used it. It's entirely unresponsive.
Haven't had a chance to try the install yet.
@ajroach42 @smcameron Just occurred to me that mine's the 4GB RAM model. The lower-RAM boards might handle less cleanly.
@danhunsaker @smcameron I snagged a 1GB, 2GB and 4GB for testing.
@ajroach42 @smcameron Have a chance, yet, to give this a go?
@danhunsaker @smcameron I got some pi's booting, and eventually got the application compiled. It started up, but I haven't put it through the paes yet.
