Really? Hey, then problem solved. I didn't know about u-boot. Tanks for the link legimet, looks like some more interesting reading.

Well, that's really impressive. If this much can be run at a decent speed, then my life is complete, at last. Seriously, this is great!

Why do you keep talking about Libreboot? Such embedded devices usually use a bootloader such as Das U-Boot: http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot

That's too bad, but at least the data can remain more reliably on a hdd (thanks again for the link BCG). Yeah I know about yacy. I was thinking about searx instead. Butt it seems that should work since it's an option on yunohost (thanks Magic Banana). On the way, I learned about freedom

Possible additional services worth installing besides a mail server (while waiting for dark mail): - VPN - Diaspora or GNU Social or whatever - Search engine: Yacy seems cool but there's no way it would work on 512 RAM. Searx on the other hand might (not sure how that meta search engine works

I have a Beaglebone Black (BBB) and here is what I can tell you... As you probably already know, the chip that handles HDMI output on that computer requires a non-free driver... as far as I know that is the only part of the board that requires non-free software to use. For server

I think mail and OpenVPN should be fine... looking at the Freedombone site you linked to seems to confirm that as well. I don't know about any self-hosted search engines except that I've heard of Yacy which seems cool but I remember hearing an interview with the developer saying that they

At this point, the BBB would probably fry. Thanks for the list of ideas. There are so many cool stuff to host, I suppose we need to wait for a more powerful machine, and still small enough to be easily moved. And Libreboot friendly. After all, it might be possible to have a very small

Thanks for the wifi tip, probably useful on the go (provided I secure it properly). Otherwise, if it's mostly at home, I can plug it through ethernet to my router I guess. I'd definitely try to stay away from flash memory. I suppose I can install the OS and the data on an external HDD.
