Hello,

I have got one of ICOP`s SBC
(http://www.icop.com.tw ) 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.

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.

Trix.

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

Sorry to say but it was delivery with a WinCE.
_Don't say it to anybody_
So when i got the time i install xlinux or a slackware on it.

Re: The best distro for my SBC.
Maybe you could create your own distribution using e.g. ELinOS.
