Hi Evan I perfectly agree with your concern. Apart for the need to have a solution that fits in the Debian architecture, the problem is that Freenet apparently do not allow to choose the entropy source. And worst, the package you suggest uses the audio subsystem, and being the Soekris an headless systes, it is also earless ..... ;) Many thanks -- +--------------- http://www.winstonsmith.info ---------------+ | il Progetto Winston Smith: scolleghiamo il Grande Fratello | | the Winston Smith Project: unplug the Big Brother | | Marco A.
