Need input on this one...


Hey all.
Well it's that time. I'm about to start testing out my distro's.
But, I have a few Q's.
(cuz itz good to get info before hand eh?)

1) Any one use embedded? Or trying to? What has been covered so far with using a system with only RAM and FLASH? I didn't find much here on this forum, so feedback would greatly help me move along in this project.

2) Vote? Can we take a tally on which everyone would prefer:
boot and have it all snazy enough to not need your input at all during setup
or
Full blown ya gotta be at the keyboard for every tiny little detail.
(Obviously I'd put both but want to get an idea of how many do what and when)

3) Anyone up for testing my distro's once they are complete?

Tnx. The main topic really is #1. I want to get a feel for A) How many ppl use CF and B) How many ppl have had success so far.(Trials and tribulations followed by troubles


Tnx.

2. If your audience would be more likely be new to linux in general, then I'd have to say the snazzy, do it all for you type.

If you audience will mostly be die hard slackers, uber LFS geeks, Gentoo wizards, and so on; then the keyboard is like home to them, make them feel at home

I'd give my vote to the keyboard one, you can always fix a problem if you know what's broke (well you have a better chance anyway).

Cool
