[clug] Embedded Debian - Live

[Michael Cohen]

David,
  Our hardware comes from Yewarra http://www.yawarra.com.au/ . I think
they can put your own image for you if you ask them. We just took the
image they came with and customized it (apt-get install apache etc -
its just a regular linux box). We dont need to change anything about
the basic system - after sufficient customization you just reimage the
card and make 10.

Michael.
