Maybe this is a good opportunity for someone to create a basic distribution
that gets AMPRnet working on a RPi. 8G SD cards are incredibly cheap and
ship well or someone can write the image directly on them. Maybe if it's
packaged, profits could be sent to Brian for gateway maintenance/growth.
I think it would be a good idea to create something like that.
I have done images for another special-purpose Pi application, however in this case it
probably needs a little more work to create a nice "setup" program that allows
the user
to enter the variable data and configures the Pi accordingly.
(after all, the instructions that are already on wiki.ampr.org apparently are not enough
to get people started, so providing an image and then tell them to edit config files and
scripts will probably fail the same way)
It is also clear that the default firewall should be OK, and users should be warned not
to
install things like open telnet servers on or behind the router.
