Openwrt is not a linux system and is missing a lot of important items for running a server. Now if you are going to spend all the time doing installs from .tar.gz looking for a min system you should just run a linux from scratch setup then you are allowed to pick all running items and even compile for your processers abilities. Also its not a bad idea for the pi but I wonder if the kernel is a version that supports arm.<br>
