Seems like there were folks posting here, or maybe on another network,
about running Amibian & a BBS on an RPi.  I actually run my board off of a
USB stick plugged into the RPi.  Gives me more space and they don't seem to
wear out as often as the cards (knock on wood!).

With the Synchronet BBS distro (at least, the linux one), it looks like
someone started building something like that into the code.  There is an
extra directory under the web directory that contains some sample photos
and an index file, if I remember right.
