I'm exploring building a home network appliance using maemo as a foundation and 
could use a little guidance. 
This appliance would:
be wall mounted like a panel pc, no keyboardfunction as a client for network 
audio serverretrieve/display local weather via http requestusing built in video 
camera, function as video intercom interface for calling other appliances on 
network.function as a room thermostat by measuring temp and controlling hvac 
relays.whatever else anyone can think of the hardware platform consists of a 
mini-itx fanless mobo (Intel D201GLY2) connected to a 7" 800x480 lcd with usb 
touchscreen (lilliput) and using only virtual keyboard.

Obviously, many of the above functions have already been taken care of as gtk 
widgets.

Please excuse my ignorance but..does this sound like something appropriate for 
maemo?  the website talks about maemo for mobile linux based devices but not 
really sure where to start on building a custom distro for my hardware?  Are 
there any tutorials for building maemo foundation for non-nokia devices?
