If you want remixes yes. This can be run on headless server with Ubuntu just like Sparrow Server was intended so that you don't have to leave your laptop running. Given the state of things I imagine Ashigaru Whirlpool will stay stand alone and not integrated into RoninDojo overtly like Samourai whirpool was. So I plan on setting up a used stand alone optiplex mini for this to just run on 24/7.
