Hi Matthew, Nice to hear about your plans. Now you never mention the ability of Trinux to get the programs over http/ftp. This is the function I liked the most about Trinux. Considder, somewhere in the house (or world) you've got a minimal system with a single bootfloppy. You let it load it's package from your server. So you can give it the function it has to do. I've made a jukebox with it, with IR-remote-control, web-control, and gets the music from my server. So the Trinux needs no hard-disk and is completely noiseless (after booting), only music. With a reboot I can turn it into a webserver, or whatever I want (Just a case of renaming the package on the server). Never have to touch the Trinux system, it has no monitor, no keyboard, no harddisk, no fans needed. And I can place such system whereever I want, as long there's power and ethernet. Last days I started to think about integration of the now cheap USB-PenDrives, lots of cheap memory. People at SPB Linux have a project for putting a bootable Linux-system on such a device. Everything you can imagine can be done with Linux. Where do you want to go tomorrow? greetings, Arne |
