possible to use the Beaglebone or similar ARM single board computer with
LibreCMC (if ports exist, or indeed OpenWRT itself)?
This is something I'm interested in doing myself as it turns out.
I just bought a Wireless-N Mini VPN Router from TP along with their VPN
service. Really excited to try it out and have a free, open alternative. :)
Hello everyone, and hello Chris, thank you for taking time to answer people's
questions. It's wonderful to see a company so passionate about free software
that someone from there will take the time to answer questions and explain
things to us.
I want to buy a libre computer and possibly a

Yes it runs only free software and it is best router that can be found on the
market has dual wifi and 128 mb ram dual usb.
Interesting: http://beagleboard.org/project/apstability/
Will it run free software only environment?
I suspect not :-(

I was under the impression that LibreCMC is based directly on OpenWRT.
Yes, you're right - LibreWRT and libreCMC are both based on OpenWRT. LibreWRT
and libreCMC merged together because it made sense to have 1 libre fork of
OpenWRT instead of two different groups working on essentially the same goal.
It is based on OpenWRT?
They don't do a very good job at keeping linked to the latest version, so it
only looks like nothing is going on. Timeline shows the 1.3.4 release
announcement but didn't seem to make it to the release section yet. jxself
has already posted the URL to 1.3.4 binaries.
If you wanted more
"Is libreCMC still under active development?"
Yes.
"the last release from last year."
What?! No it's not. Version 1.3.4 came out two months ago in July:

You should visit their IRC channel. It's quite active. Some people
It's discontinued. If we had the time and resources I might fix this. It's
more important that I keep on top of actually resolving other issues. Like
review our new web site so that the web developer can fix any issues. Or work
on fixing some issues that we still have with getting the newer
We do have a mini VPN router that'll also act as a normal wireless router if
you do not purchase it with VPN service (it only has one LAN port and one WAN
port, you'd have to get a switch to utilize it with more than one wired
device/computer):
Ok, after performing some research I now get the general idea about this
whole "FCC vs. free firmware" issue.
@Chris: I think it's very confusing that the official link from the FSF
website redirects to an "access denied" page. I know that you must be very
busy these days but wouldn't it
So basically at the moment ThinkPenguin's funding LibreCMC's development,
infrastructure, etc, 100%. It's not exactly a profitable thing, but it's also
potentially a break even thing if we ever got around to adding 3-4 devices
running LibreCMC to our catalog. We're close. But it's

Cris, does Trisquel's part of donated money goes to some Libre project like
routers?
I'm confused now. Does that mean that I can't buy the mentioned router from
you at this moment? If yes, I still don't understand why exactly. What's your
suggestion in the meantime? I need a new router right now, unfortunately. If
you don't sell this router, I would have to buy this model
I may have answered this already, but here is why we don't have the new
models released. We're working on a dual-band 802.11n router. It's done.
Problem is we need $$$. It's something like $30,000+ USD for just this one
model which we don't have at the moment. Hopefully I'll pull the cash
That seems less than optimal. I probably would try to inform him of the
situation via https://www.thinkpenguin.com/contact
I already contacted him but didn't get a reply so far, which is why I tried
to ask here whether you know of some other sources I could use to get a new
router and help free software at the same time.
Hello guys,
I just have one very quick question for you: Which routers do you use (with
free firmwares, of course) and where did you get them from? I was actually
planning to buy a new router for myself and wanted to go for the
