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.
