Probably not exactly what you're looking for but Astlinux runs on Gumstix. Would be suitable for prototyping.

Try installing Monte Vista http://www.mvista.com/ on the usb stick. It will be a lot cleaner than taking a standard server distribution of linux and stripping out all the unwanted kernel modules. Monte Vista is an embedded linux that should be able to boot your server off a 128mb usb stick with Asterisk installed. You should probably strip asterisk down to the bare essentials for your project as well. You should be aware that flash memory is generally not the best medium to store data when you have a high number of read/writes. Flash memory will fail much more quickly under these conditions. You might want to consider using a usb microdrive instead of a flash stick. Pick a microdrive that generates as little heat as possible. BTW, what exactly is the motivation for running linux off of a usb stick? If you would like cdr's, you could likely do so with ngrep and a perl script.

In the first case there are a lot of fisrt generation routers coming into the market at very low prices for example http://www.wirelesslan.gr/product_info.php?cPath=127products_id=866 http://www.wirelesslan.gr/product_info.php?products_id=670 If you are looking for a SoC type device there are several although, the 100$ range looks more realistic There are several devices that could be used. DimmPC comes in my mind - http://www.amctechcorp.com/dimmpci/index.html Digi's Connectcore http://www.digi.com/products/embeddedsolutions/connectcore9u.jsp Check Linux devices for a larger list http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8498487406.html Hope it helps Stelios Stelios S.
