Hello All!

I am looking for an embedded linux distribution which would run on an x86 233 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM. It will be installed on a CF card with 512 MB or more.

I have tried Voyage Linux but I had some problems with it. It removed apt when I was installing gcc!!! Or it would not compile at all. Its repositories are not well maintained! I tried switching to the default debian one, but also won't work!

I then looked at pyramid linux but it is still under development, so not stable.

I need it for setting up mainly openvpn client and ntop. Any Debian or Red Hat based solution is OK (because of apt and yum for easy installation).

Any help and advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,

It's not an embedded Linux distro, and it's neither deb-based nor rpm-based, but would Puppy Linux work for you?

I have checked out puppy and damn small linux just a while ago and unfortunately they don't seem to have support for embedded system. I am installing the linux on a CF card which is used to boot a WRAP device so that's why I need an embedded linux. I also need to install some applications on the system after implementing linux. That's why I require apt or yum.

OpenWRT may meet your requirements??
