[App_rpt-users] DIAL Distribution Question

I don't believe this method could work for BBB or RPi as neither of those
boards have sufficient RAM to use my process.

I use 4gb ram. I split the RAM into hard drive and operation ram.

2gb hard drive and 2 gb operations ram.

If you were to take DIAL and basically turn it into LIMEY you could
probably do it. But you would be giving up much.
