Hello,
I am trying to create a Linux appliance out of a system having a PIII
processor, 128 MB Flash drive and 128 MB RAM. The appliance will not
have a hardrive though. Apart from the base modules, the system needs
networking module in order to communicate through the serial ports. I
also plan to install PERL and/or Java and execute scripts on the
appliance. Which mini free/commercial distribution will be most
suitable for the above system? Also, where can I obtain documentation
to build such a system? Thank you for your time.
