"With the increasing move of our computing to cloud infrastructures, we give up the control of our computing to the managers of those infrastructures. Our terminals (laptops, desktops) might now be running entirely on Free Software, but this is increasingly irrelevant given that most of what actually matters gets executed on a remote closed system that we don’t control. The Free Software community needs to work to help users keep the control of all their computing, by developing suitable alternatives and facilitating their deployment." -- Lucas Nussbaum

Here's how.

And here's how on a Beaglebone Black.

Want to make a community mesh network which doesn't depend upon the internet?

You can do that too.

After installation it's possible that you might want some advice on how to run your system and set up apps to work nicely with it.
