I second this suggestion. Raspbian is based on Debian. There's also Raspuntu, and other distros. But I wonder about the chains of authentication from Debian packages to their Raspbian versions. It's probably much better than with *WRT, yes? I've also seen recent discussion on cypherpu...@cpunks.org about security issues, such as chip design, bugs, sources of randomness, etc. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
