Let me throw another wrench into the gears. We have servers on the
horizon. I would say priority has risen to roll these out in less than
6 months but we have something in the works now to sell. How does this
affect things?

Quite interesting! What more specifically do we have in works now?
Possibly we can simply have servers use same flavor as laptops or phones
- depending on both which hardware and which software needs we are
talking about.
If e.g. we want to offer services with AI logic relying on GPU
processing running on hardware similar to the phones, then it gets
challenging to stabilize.
If we "just" want to offer Librem One services in a box, then it _may_
gets challenging to stabilize, if it includes parts like Riot Web.

This is on the roadmap. A 'Librem Box' with similar specs to our
laptop but probably 8th gen cpu. See here and issue #1: <a

With higher MOQs required, the rack server is taking precedence. I
think the easy part for the Librem Box is the hardware. I'll leave
the hard part to you guys ;) <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Please tell more - I have looked forward to this since I began working
for Purism ~20 moons ago.

Great! For now, looking at using a 1U rackmount Xeon-D motherboard
with Coreboot and a Librem Key thrown into the mix. Any suggestions
or ideas you would like to see, please throw them my way! More to
come...<br>
