    MD> My first question is: Can I use the same setup instructions Avon   
    MD> provided for the Raspberry  Pi to set up Mystic on Linux?  Not sure   
    MD> what O/S the Pi runs on.   
      
   I used Avon's videos to set Mystic up on a Pi and then use that same   
   knowledge to set it up on Ubuntu.  Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS) is based on   
   Debian the same as Ubuntu is.   
      
    MD> Second question: If I use a VPS hosting package with root access,   
    MD> will this work?   
      
   Yes, that should work as well.  I've had Mystic running in a VPS at Lunanode   
   with no issues.  Running it at a VPS (at the time) also allowed me to setup   
   IPv6 access as my ISP didn't offer IPv6 back then.   
      
   The only weird thing to snag me up on the VPS was getting cryptlib to work, I   
   had to go back to an older version of cryptlib, though that may have just   
   been me fat fingering something.  Follow these instructions and you should be   
   good:
