Hello,
I'm looking into some hardware to buy to start testing few
Freedombox-related
ideas. I came to the conclusion that having an hard drive inside the box
is a must
for the following reasons:
1) Storage space: I need lots of GB to store photos, etc.
2) Wear: I'm not very comfortable on having R/W data on cheap compact flash
3) Simplicity: With an hard-drive I can install a normal debian without
having to
setup a readonly root, security updates are also easier
Do those reason make sense? Am I overlooking something?
I found a device that seems to be exactly what I need: Excito B3 [1].
It's a bit
expensive but it comes with Debian pre-installed! Anyone has any experience
with it?
Bests,
Lorenzo
