okay thanks i will look in to that and speed learning Linux :-)
We have extensive documentation and instructions how to do it, and actually you don't have to be an rocket scientist for this.

(few members of community actuly providing such services)
Is it possible to run Windows, and have linux (say ubuntu) run windowed on a separate usb, and run a secure or supernode through the linux window? That would be a way around the issue.
