+The proposed software stack is to run a tweaked OpenWRT router firmware
+distribution on the bare metal, and run server processes in one or more
+virtualized full debian environments.

+Porting and documentation effort will be made such that users can swap out the
+default software stack for regular debian, regular OpenWRT, pfSense (FreeBSD),
+or OpenBSD as they see fit.

+A bootloader and multiple-partition scheme will retain a "factory" copy of the
+default configuration on the internal micro SD card to assist with recovering
+from misconfiguration.
