  That was my first question too. Why not just make it out of a modified software firewall? That way you can run it on your wireless mobile devices as well, and not be vulnerable when connecting from Starbucks or wherever. It looks like they have plans for that too. The physical box part is apparently for Apple-ish, plug-and-play ease of use, while software will also be available: >James Vasile: Well right now we’ve convened a technical advisory committee. These are people who have deep expertise in the various difficult things that the Freedom Box is going to have to do extremely well. And those people are right now coming up with a road map for development that will lead us to actual software that can be loaded onto boxes, not just Freedom Boxes, I mean, if you want to load this onto your PC that will be an option although you’ll need somewhat more technical knowledge than simply plugging in a box. But we’re at the road-map stage right now. People are planning the architecture and figuring out what existing free and open source software we can pick off the shelf and put in the box to do most of the things that we’re planning on accomplishing.
