[Freedombox-discuss] Documentation of the cost and use of a freedom box
Hi Jack,
I've got notes on the areas below. Is this appropriate?
As with the hardware, only some of this is Freedombox information for http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox.
You can find all this stuff and more on forums like these, but the info does take a fair bit of filtering, unfortunately.
