I am involved with the FreedomBox project.
@asdf: No, FreedomBox is mainly a server where Freifunk is mainly a router.
@fergish: No, while SAFE network provide crucial parts not in FreedomBox, it is not “everything” nor “better”: SAFE network is libraries and applications for running services and applications - it needs an underlying operating system.
FreedomBox is a server operating system targeted non-technical users.
As such, FreedomBox complements the server-side of SAFE network as (some or all, as the user chooses) the services served on that operating system.
Running Maidsafe on FreedomBox is discussed at Getting maidsafe on the freedombox server and getting Maidsafe integrated as official part of Debian and FreedomBox is discussed at Maidsafe on a freedombox.org? - #2 by draw (yeah, confusing topics chosen for those - I wish they could be adjusted)
