As far as I'm concerned, if they don't have SSDs they aren't in the same class as chromebooks. SSDs are what have made cheap, low-powered laptops feel fast for basic, non-CPU intensive use. The chromebook model is to make up

Sandstorm is interesting, but I didn't realize it had this sort of DNS requirement. This will also mean it will essentially require a wildcard ssl certificate for people who want to completely host it themselves, which could seriously
