PictureFrame linux?
 

Hello all.
I'm looking for a very light distro for old laptops, that's designed, or easily capable of, displaying a slideshow (Perferable from from a network source: Apache / Samba fine) fullscreen, looped, with no human intervention...

The Hardware I have avalible is:
P-100-ish? Mhz, 32 - 64 Ram
800Mbb harddrive, CD, Network (PCMCIA Dlink card)

Also avalible is a P2-300, 64mb ram, 6Gb, Network, CD.

Thanx,
Atrain

I dont have a floppy drive on it... Also, none of those aren't designed as picture frames...

Theres no linux distro directly designed for the job? Im surprized, they have for everything else...
Can Geexbox or something freeVo based do what i want?


Edit:
took a look at freevo... seems to have to switch pics manualy... no slideshow mode...

Mythtv can do it though?

Atrain,
Go down to the nearest bookstore and take a look at a book titled Wiley Linux Toys. One of the toys in the book is a similar picture frame running linux. For this project I'd use DSL.
