It wouldn't be bigger than life if it were just a few .debs, would it? It's a ~ 
8GB ready to use OS image based on Ubuntu. It will boot up read-only from bare 
metal (at least a few I've tested), as a virtual machine or even from a USB 
memory stick. It'll ask for your OpenAFS credientials in GUI and you will 
arrive on your  AFS homedir. Well, you can access your Liitin account from a 
browser as well, even though it's a native OS. 

I'm actually currently working on adding a sort of Internet of Things support 
by means of pub-sub messaging. The idea is to be able to add new devices to 
control from Liitin account or develop new things out of their features. 

Sorry, got carried away....

Br, jukka
