Changing hostname is imperative for solo crunching as well..Took me about a month to figure that out! All five odroids running smoothly now though. A guide like this will help people get set up much easier. There was A LOT of googling for me, but I learned a good bit.

That's great. Are they running ubuntu minimal? I had some problems with my odroid in the past and switched over to arch last weekend to see if my problems will continue.
Umm, I think its a full version of Ubuntu.. I had zero experience with linux or SoC type things prior to buying the odroids, but Ubuntu 16.04 (MATE desktop?) with kernel 4.xx is what they are using.
I am interested in trying arch linux on one of them. It is essentially manual mode linux yeah?
I am Cornholio! (Whoa! Hm heh... that was cool) I need T.P. for my bunghole! Come out with your pants down!
Thanks for that Beavis!
You could call it manual mode linux, yes :D
I am planning a second part for this guide where I will describe how I set up arch and will add information about performance and profitability of the odroid :)
