Regarding the boot time, I never shut down the VDR box, instead I suspend it. Its possible to wake up with a remote. Takes about 5-7 seconds to boot. I believe that time can be shortened even more. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I'd like a light system (without X11 since I use a dxr3 card) that boots fast. In my opinion you can set up a system with a small boot time with any distribution. So I would take a distribution you are familiar with and optimize it. For Debian you can take a look at [1][2]. As Scott wrote, coreboot would be nice to have too. And last but not least the boot partition should be located on a SSD drive, if I remember correctly. Good luck with your project. Maybe you can share your results, when you are done setting it up. I am looking forward to it.
