and slower as you add more users. You are already loading multiple users
on a single DSL line and add to that the latency with multiple wireless APs and
then on top of that you add TOR. I don't think the 1GB Ram is bad, but I'm
not sure if the 1GHz PC will be bare minimum. Check the TOR project
page for recommendations since it is blocked for me at work.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Linux -in the real world- on lower end hardware?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The short end of this is a question raised about traveling folks
using TOR from Campgrounds on low end hardware. Seems a non-trivial query too as
there are a growing number of "Full Timers" that live in mobile housing and are
politically desiring to support TOR. The overview of the query comes down to
this- NOT needing a "Read the FAQ" storm folks- does anyone here have real hands
on experience with TOR at all? Then the next element is running TOR on lower end
Linux boxes -under 1 ghz P4's under 1gig ram at all? And if TOR will not
be a performance impact on that class of systems- what then of running on Wifi
chains of 3 links average? <BR><BR>Example of RV park network typical chain
being- DSL>Firewall Router>1st air hop>USB "dongle">linux box as
BEST case with often several additional "Repeaters" My stepdaughter reports
seeing an average of 3 AP chains in typical parks as a real example. <BR><BR>ALL
this data to ask the question then if TOR is practical for RV based travellers
to both use and participate in?<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Oren
