Everybody,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828194208-11082011>I read the following
on a separate thread (1) that the FreedomBox will have different 'layers', with
layer 4 and above for applications and networking on levels before. The
discussion was in relation to networking FBX's but what really struck me was
that we are currently packaging applications (apache etc.) but networking
at the lower layers is still unresolved. It sounds like a hot topic and may come
up in the IRC session and I just want to grasp the basics (don't get too
technical);</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828194208-11082011>1) Does this mean
each layer is independent of each other? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828194208-11082011>2) Does this mean we
can release FBX and then do an upgrade through a click of the button like
Firefox to add networking?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828194208-11082011>I don't want to get
into a discussion about the different options. I really only want to know can
you do with it and then *easily* upgrade it later.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
