FWIW, I wouldn't want to turn a Chumby One into a FreedomBox. It's not a 
particularly high-powered hardware platform - 64MB RAM, 454Mhz ARM CPU. 
And a lot of the zero-sysadmin comes from that it's basically just a 
Flash Lite player.

But, I agree there are a lot of lessons to be learned from it.
