Hi Quiliro,

I'm the one behind freedomboxblog.nl. Here is some information that
might help:

First: i have implemented (tested) my FreedomBox architecture both on
ARM as on i32 systems (Atom 330). There are no special requirements,
it's "just" Debian packages and some scripts that i modified/wrote.

Second: Don't expect a setup program. You have to follow the
instructions given in my blog postings. (don't hesitate to ask me
questions if something is unclear)

Third: My FreedomBox architecture is according some readers of this list
a little bit over the top. I wanted an architecture which enabled me to
share my box with family and friends. I also wanted very strong
isolation of internet connected programs from the main system. To make
this possible i use light-weight virtualization. If you use my
architecture you basically get a shared-hosting provider setup with some
cloud properties. Maybe this kind of power is not needed for the
FreedomBox and will never make it into an official release.

Cheers,
Rob.
