As per other comments yes, one Ethernet port. I have a USB ethernet (little Edimax job) and use mine as a VERY basic router that runs openvpn to my cloudy 'droplet' to give me an IP address 'somewhere else' so I can use my satellite box to get ondemand/catch up TV stuff etc etc.... :-) Think I run dnsmaq and that's about it. The cloudy thing runs openvpn, dnsmaq, tinydns and squid to make it a little caching router so have no need on the Pi. I think I installed a stripped down version of Raspbian Wheezy I found to avoid all the 'd' nonsense. http://www.linuxsystems.it/raspbian-wheezy-armhf-raspberry-pi-minimal-image/ Only for Pi v1 a the moment. It isn't that fast as it is limited by the USB and my internet connection, but I don't need it to be. And it works. Make a disk image of the card once up and running, and when one burns out write a new one, plug in and go.... Great little tool. B. Rgds John
