i'll need a http server and a db in my SBC, something small but powerfull. what do you recommend ???
don't forget SBC don't have harddrives, they tend to hava flash disks instead, and the distro and tools that i need have to be the smallest possible (mysql is very big no??).
Something that burns a lot of first-time appliance builders is the detail that things like CompactFlash have limited number of writes per sector. Running a RDBMS on a flash disk is a good way to chew up a flash disk pretty quickly. A good design for an "appliance SBC" is to set up the system to run in RAM, only accessing flash when the config is updated or while booting, having as few files as possible on the flash.
