			[http://www.amahi.org/ Amahi] is an independent "personal server" linux distribution that might also be appropriate for FBx-like devices; see [http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Ubuntu here] for a 32-bit Ubuntu-based release.

			[https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion Commotion] is an OpenWRT-based firmware distribution for use with meshed networks, and might be used for [[FreedomNode\|FreedomNodes]] or some FBx-like devices. "Full-strength" FBx devices should probably run a larger distribution.

			Depending on the owner's needs, existing hardware (unused laptop?) or easily available commodity routers costing less than *$50* running a subset of FreedomBox functionality may be sufficient (such routers generally have poor compute and I/O resources for running a regular debian stack, and run firmware like OpenWrt or pfSense instead).

	The FNF would like to integrate individuals' FreedomBoxes as edge devices of the free network, meshing with or (even serving as) [[FreedomNode\|FreedomNodes]]) and providing connectivity to end user devices (laptops, phones, etc). The functionality of FreedomBox and FreedomNode could overlap and be served by a single device in many situations; in others having a distinct "building-scope" Node and several "individual-scope" Boxes would make more sense.

The [http://freedomboxfoundation.org FreedomBox Foundation] is an open source project (separate from the [[FreeNetworkFoundation|Free Network Foundation]]) to develop an interface and software stack based on Debian (GNU/Linux) to run on plug computers owned by individuals to return control and ownership of data and logs to the users. The project may or may not specify and sell specific hardware; the FreedomBox concept applies to any low power, long-running personal server providing network and social services operating from a user's premises.

The FNF would like to integrate individuals' FreedomBoxes as edge devices of the free network, meshing with or (even serving as) [[FreedomNode|FreedomNodes]]) and providing connectivity to end user devices (laptops, phones, etc). The functionality of FreedomBox and FreedomNode could overlap and be served by a single device in many situations; in others having a distinct "building-scope" Node and several "individual-scope" Boxes would make more sense.

"FreedomBox" is sometimes abbreviated to "'''FBx'''".
