I'm not at all an expert on hardward configurations, but given
the few client connections that you have on your application,
you should be able to run it on pretty much anything that's
available :-)

Do use the UPS though.

You can leave out "Fb" with this... WLAN is nice for occasional browsing
etc, but you hardly have a permanent connection, which is what Fb
