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.
