A friend and I have been kicking around the idea of building a product that will be delivered as an Internet appliance. Our product would have a custom Internet server to handle the socket-level stuff and a web-based interface for modifying settings of our server and doing basic stuff with the machine, like rebooting. We would like to use Linux but want it stripped down so that only the bare essentials are available for running our our stuff and the web server. At this point we are trying to figure out what we would need and how we would do this. Any thoughts? Thanx, Ryan
