Re: [tor-relays] minimum useful ram

I would recommend the BeagleBone Black. It's only $10 more than the Pi and it runs actual Debian and the tor development debs work out of the box. It's also has a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM. My uptime is 45 days right now.

My bandwidth settings (below) allows for an always-on relay that doesn't detract from my home network. Gordon is doing some great work getting the Pi setup, but the BBB has basically worked out of the box for me. (I'm limited to 5Mbps upload).

I reinstalled Ubuntu 11.10 64 and free -m brought this..

Again following the instructions https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#development
apt-get install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring
brought this...

I am a Linux newboy so any help is welcome, Gordon.

Of the Tor Cloud project using Amazon's free year I have only had a $3 charge for one of three in six months. The versions of Obfsproxy are set not to break Amazon's free limit, as I understood Tor to say.
If there are $12USD a year servers available can't a package be set-up to utilise them.
I'm burrowing through the Linux lingo as well as I can but it's a real test of mettle!

Have you looked at the Cubie 2 board?
To seek finance to distribute a devoted board with the best balance of components and cost would lead to more Tor network I reckon.
