Me too... After watching Freenet for quite a while, I've now recently been in a position to try it out. While by no means technically illiterate, I, as may others I expect, will try and use Freenet (as other interesting projects) by installing first, reading the degrees of documentation second (!RTFM). And this is by far what I find is missing in these interesting projects, a hook of documentation to catch ones interest, enable basic deployment/configuration and reel one in to participate on the real work.
So, I am going to notate my findings trying out Freenet, and what I have done to get something working, though I'm not quite sure how much and if it's behaving itself. But if Dwight and Bob care to do the same, perhaps we can assimilate something that we and perhaps other would find useful for a first-time deploy and figure out what are the question we have that others, too, might have. So, Bob, Dwight har far did you get? After a couple of hours of trial and error, and a couple of searching the net, I think my node runs! Next, trying to figure out what its node key is...
