[Hampshire] Embedded Linux box -- web configuration

2012-03-07 Thread Chris Smith
Hi all, I'm playing around with a small Linux SBC, which I'd like to configure using a web interface -- in the same way as a domestic router, for example. What is the 'best practise' way of doing this? Is it simply a CGI script that directly modifies the config files, or is there a better way?
