1 Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These images include several FreedomBox-related projects. The changes are
changes made by project contributors in the last week that have made it into
the test image. The outstanding TODOs are the changes needed before the
beta-release is complete. If you'd like to contribute in any way, fork and
send me a pull request.

2 What Does it Do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right now, it serves as a privacy protecting proxy.
The VirtualBox image has built and starts existing the FBX projects on boot.
The DreamPlug image will do that next week.
3 How do I try it out?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways you can test it out. The easy way is to use VirtualBox and
run the image in a virtual machine. These instructions have more details:
[http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/VirtualBoxImages]
You can also install the image to your DreamPlug directly. If you've bought
your own DreamPlug, you'll probably need to flash the firmware, which requires
a JTAG. Follow these instructions:
[http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Firmware]
These are the users and their passwords:
root: freedom
The root user.
fbx: frdm
The normal user. All the FreedomBox tools are stored in =/home/fbx=.
plinth: config
The system maintenance user. Generic FreedomBox maintenance will be
conducted by this user.
4 Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can validate that the files have been downloaded correctly and haven't
changed since I've published them by checking the files' signatures.
First, download my key:
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key D95C32042EE54FFDB25EC3489F2733F40928D23A
Then, verify each file's signature:
$ gpg --verify freedombox-unstable_2013.0405_dreamplug-armel-card.tar.bz2.sig freedombox-unstable_2013.0405_dreamplug-armel-card.tar.bz2
$ gpg --verify freedombox-unstable_2013.0405_virtualbox-i386-hdd.tar.bz2.sig freedombox-unstable_2013.0405_virtualbox-i386-hdd.tar.bz2
The checksums for each file, useful for additional verification, also follow.
