Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of development :)
Regards your question, it all depends on what you want to do and your skill
level.
Video processing in a small box? Go for a pico-ITX motherboard (basically a
very small PC)
Network gateway? WRT54GL
Network Addressed Storage (NAS)? NSLU2 (also know as slug).
To build your own system from scratch from components, ie buy a processor,
memory, FLASH storage, network interface, sound, video, USB, power supply would
all need to be thought about.
As your are a beginner, I would suggest buying something like the NSLU2. Good
little device to start with. Check out the page www.nslu2-linux.org for info.

Subject: guidance needed to build an embedded linux device:
hello,
what do i need to build my own embedded linux device? how does one go about it?
for example is redboot and ecos a complete system?
As an example:
Has
anyone here on the forum worked with/used Freecom FSG gateway? If yes,
would you please help me understand how does one goes about building
such a device? what comes first and in what order? what established
companies like processor manufacturer / eCos and Redbbot/ gentoo/other
flavors... can
do and what a user has to do?
mainboard: readymade by intel?<who else makes them?>
main_processor? intel / arm ?
video processor? <which> / <what are the possiblities>
sound processor?
other adapters like sata/e-sata/usb/wlan etc. <is this hardware seperate or
onboard?>
If you have a better example can you please help me understand using that?
with warm regards.
