Did anyone find time to successfully test these recipes?  A few bugs had
sneaked into the Raspbian one:

> Raspberry Pi Raspbian

>  (1) Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.
>  (2) Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.
>  (3) Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:

Replace 'wheey' with 'wheezy'.

This step was incomplete:

>  (4) Run this as root:
>        apt-get update
>        apt-get install freedombox-setup freedombox-privoxy
>        /usr/lib/freedombox/setup

In this step, make sure to run this command as root before 'apt-get
update' to get the APT repository key into the APT keyring:

  wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
    apt-key add -

I very much welcome feedback and reports from someone testing the
recipes.

Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
<URL: http://your-host:8001/ > to see the (sad) state of the plint
welcome screen, and next visit <URL: http://your-host:8001/help/ > to
get access to the rest of plinth.
