The best distro for my SBC.

Hello,



I have got one of ICOP`s SBC

formatting link
with



386SX-like processor and 16MB DOM. I`m looking for an embedded Linux distribution which would best suit my needs. I need to build device which reads data from RS232 port, can write some data on disc, has FTP server (HTTP server would be usefull too). I`m looking for a distribution I won`t have to make so many changes, to work properly with my hardware. Simplicity of installation is important too. The distribution should be for free. Real-time OS is not demanded. I have read some information about ETLinux, and it seems to be interesting. Do you have any suggestion which embedded Linux distribution would be best for me?

Thanks for your answers, Trix.

Probably, I have DOC, not DOM.

Thanks for your answer. I`ll try xLinux. I know about this distribution because of link at ICOP`s web page, but I haven`t tried it yet. At the moment, xLinux seems to be more uptodate than ETLinux, because of newer kernel.

One more question: What distribution are you using with your icop, at the moment?

Maybe you could create your own distribution using e.g. ELinOS.
