Hi list.
I consider myself a linux newbie still, so would like pointers to
information on a project I am considering trying.
My idea is a dedicated audio visual setup on an embedded device with
a modified version of linux as its O/S.
I have seen versions of what I am thinking but it has a MS O/S as
its base and I not interested in going that way.
I know that the linux O/S will have to be stripped and modified to
work so will need help there but I just looking at feasibility at
the moment before even starting.
The basic system would be a solid-state device with external devices
attached. I.E. Hard drive, cameras and some kind of interface to a
sound system.
Any help with pointers to sites along these lines would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Graeme.
I'm no expert, but Debian has been popular in this area in recent years.

I dunno if it's still around, but I used to use peewee linux for my
development. Looks a bit neglected these days, over at
http://peeweelinux.com/ Old but suited to the low power cpus that are
commonly used in these applications.
