At least in Europe you can get it at pollin.de. AFAIK The have reasonable 
shipping costs, (unfortunately their site is only in German) I did only order 
from within Germany so I can't say the exact rate.

Here is a shortlist of alternative boards, in case e.g. SATA interface 
outweighs CPU speed, or if Open Hardware is a priority as well):

Probably fix the last bits of details that makes a read-only install not 
totally functionnal.

Currently, it appears you can pass the read-only option as extra-flags for / 
when configuring the filesystem, but you still need to adjust:
  mtab -> /proc/mounts
  adjtime -> /var/lib/adjtime
  blkid.tab -> /var/local/blkid.tab

You still need a /tmp as tmpfs, too - as far as I can see we still are having a 
/tmp under /

The /etc/network/run issue has been fixed (but this is implied in the page)

What I see seems to be still relevant (ie. /etc/mtab still needs to be 
symlinked to /proc/mounts on wheezy, for example)

Bug 156489 is still there on wheezy 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=156489)

# LANG=C /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
Saving the system clock.
hwclock: Could not open file with the clock adjustment parameters in it 
(/etc/adjtime) for writing: Read-only file system
hwclock: Drift adjustment parameters not updated.
Hardware Clock updated to Sun Jun  8 10:53:36 CEST 2014.

The workaround is really obvious:
mv /etc/adjtime /var/lib && ln -s /var/lib/adjtime /etc

I could not confirm the other issues (such as cups or alsa I'm not using on 
this machine)

> > the only annoying thing is the 'mount: / is busy' issue
> Have you reported this bug?

Not yet, for multiple reasons:
  * I can't seem to find the real culprit - checkrestart fails to spot any 
relevant information, and neither lsof nor fuser -c could help me at this point
  * I'm using a customized grsec kernel - I first need to confirm that the 
issue also appears on a vanilla kernel
  * I'm using wheezy/sid mixed packages, and here again a real vanilla install 
will be necessary to du further tests

But I'll check that next time moire thoroughly, as the issue almost always pops 
when updating a package.

This py.test plugin produces coverage reports. It supports both centralised

telnet is still very useful for various things. And packages don't
_have_ to have vcs repositories - they can just have good
old-fashioned tarballs/releases and still be real projects.

We have plenty of tools for making and sending patches which work
without the need for a cloned vcs.

I use telnet a lot but I would never ever install telnetd. Can you
share some use-cases for telnetd?

Some folks even prefer no VCS when it comes packaging.

Indeed, for upstream though it is far more
convenient/important/helpful to have a VCS.
