    1919A: Probably! François Deppierraz contributes [http://allmydata.org/buildbot/builders/François%20lenny-armv5tel a buildbot] which shows that Tahoe-LAFS builds and all the unit tests pass on his QNAP TS-109 NAS box running under Debian Lenny.  Someone joins the mailing list and asks about this approximately every month (see [http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/ the archives]).  All you embedded device lovers ought to get together and try it out and report to the list.

     21Q: Does Tahoe-LAFS work on Windows?
     22
     23A: Yes.  There are two ways to do it:  either (a) Get the installer from allmydata.com.  This installer installs Tahoe-LAFS, a Windows virtual drive backed by Tahoe-LAFS, and a backup client that runs on Windows. It is configured to use the allmydata.com production grid.  Allmydata.com charges a monthly fee for the use of their grid (see http://allmydata.com for details), or you can edit the configuration file to point it to a different grid.  or else (b) Follow these instructions to build on Windows: InstallOnWindows.
