Hey Y'all! I'm going to do a custom OS for our library, and I figure the best way to get what we need is to make it myself. Since the stations this is going on only have to be able to render a web page w/Flash, JavaScript and Java, all we really need is a hardware OS and a browser. I'll likely go with Firefox as a browser, and these machines will have no Internet access at all - only internal network. I'm not worried about a minimalist approach to the OS, but the ITX machines this is going on will have an Atom processor, 1GB RAM, onboard video, an internal 8GB CF card for a hard drive, and be fanless; essentially a solid-state computer that might draw 30 Watts at a full load.
So, picking the brains of you who have been doing this longer than I, and not to start a Flamefest, which would be easier? Keep in mind that I am not afraid of the command line, but do remember that I have never started with this little before! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
