I would like to talk more. I've seen some presentations and demos of Linux booting in under a second. That's my primary goal. Secondary is maximizing the free space on the eMMC for content (in my case, MP3 files). I haven't really tried doing a lot in this regard for now, but would like to over the next three months. And, I probably want to hang on to sshd, since logging in is helpful. But long-term, if it can run my C++ app and the node.js UI I'm building on top of it, and get the C++ app up and running in under 2 seconds, I'll be very happy (the node.js can take longer to start). I'll need Wi-Fi networking, and even that can come up after the C++ app has started, so long as the C++ app can reliably keep trying to make a network connection. > > On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 2:22 PM, Rick Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Jan 21, 2015, at 12:09 , William Hermans <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Anyway the point I am eluding to for Rick M there is that, if you need > > something as close as possible to Jessie, you *could* just apt-get install > > linux-image-3.14.xx.
