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
