 Great, if you've made it this far then you should have a decently secure system, nearly ready for deployment.  There are a few more pacakges it is smart to install...  kind of depends on what you are doing whether you add all of them or not but there first are a good move.

 A lot of these ARM based systems have a microSD or SD card image that can be flashed from an online source.  I like to use the most recent stable version of Debian if it's available and also the minimum size image so that less extra cruft is installed (don't need a window manager etc)<br>
 The RaspberryPis work well, too but have less horsepower under the hood:<br>

 We also have a few units (the DreamPlug and the GuruPlug) from GlobalScale but the power supplies have become flaky over time and I think the cubox-i is current favorite.<br>

 I guess in addition, also using intel based NUC which is slightly larger, maybe more powerful but the cpu instruction set is x86 rather than ARM.   For Debian, that means nothing but it should also mean we can run loggernet for linux further afield.  (this is on my later in the winter list).
