Hi, <br><br>I agree on the pure blend approach. It will keep a clean, upgradable system.<br><br>As far as hardware is concerned I strongly believe that we should keep a focus on small footfrint devices such as plug computers, servers and full blown computers are not the aimed material here. Personnaly I am experimenting with QNAP 109 with debian on it <a href="http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-109/">http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-109/</a> I am already finding bottlenecks for stuff that will not run on this kind of platform (I have servers for those). If you want to develop using a full-powered system you might have some suprises when you want to fit it on a small slow device. <br>

In my humble opinion the hardware and software things of the freedom box project could be viewed much more as separate items.<br>
<br>
a. software<br>
<br>
A working FreedomBox need not neccessarily be a small device. Just any box available is good enough to experiment with the software side of things, like routing, dns, identification, distributed storage and what not.<br>
<br>
I envision a set of Wiki pages with accurate instructions on how<br>
to configure these services to make them work.<br>
. want to try tor hidden services? This is how your box will be seen.<br>
. want to try p2p distributed dns?<br>
. want to create distributed storage ...<br>
...<br>
