You're quite welcome; I'm an command line hand, so despite my only Python 
experience being blindly running pyrit, the guide worked fine for me (though 
I'm still working out that tahoe-client == gateway; that's not at all clear on 
first reading).

I'll be trying an ODROID-U2 in the upcoming weeks; with 2GB of RAM, I actually 
fully expect it to run the trial without issue, and be capable of supporting 4+ 
storage nodes running through a USB hub or dual drive USB->SATA bays.  At $89, 
I'm hoping it's actually capable of acting as a few storage nodes as well as an 
Introducer.

For #671, if I can start getting a test grid creation script up, I'll at least 
take a look at the leasedb - SQlite can't be difficult to work with.
