Yes, I liked the general idea. The small form-factor is critical, and the price point is great. This particular implementation appears to include things that the generic FreedomBox would not need (Composite/HDMI video), and not include things many (most?) of us see as mandatory (built-in networking). They mention running Ubuntu, so I assume that a Debian "pure blend" should run w/o any problems. I'll be interested to see if they can hit their target price of $25. I know that many other projects have greatly overestimated their ability to hit a target budget! --R _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
