As configured, this software requires a Debian or Debian-based Linux OS and is specifically designed for a Raspberry Pi (http://raspberrypi.org) on Raspbian Liunx or a BeagleBone Black (http://beagleboard.org) running Debian Linux. Depending on your knowledge with your choice of OS, you can probably get this to work on others as well. The closer you are to a Debian base, the easier it will be.
Start with a Raspberry Pi with the latest Raspbian image (see http://raspberrypi.org) or a BeagleBone Black with the latest Debian image (see http://www.armhf.com). Scott's software will EASILY fit on the on-board memory of the BBB, but you will still need a uSD card to install the armhf.com Debian image to the on-board memory.

If you are using Raspbian on a RasPi, be sure to configure Raspbian with the "sudo raspi-config" command. If you are using Debian on a BBB, be sure to look over the notes on expanding the uSD memory on the www.armhf.com website.
You will need several packages to build Scott's gateway. The RasPi will probably have all or most of these but it still doesn't hurt to be sure:
