RE: its been a while since i've been on here ...linux qu estion!

["Tawn, Jonathan" <jonathan.tawn@xxxxxxx>]

Afternoon!

I wonder if any of you would be able to help me with a problem I've got ...

I'm using an old laptop (with knack'd lcd) connected to a 15" lcd, I
want to
use a small (small enough to fit on a CF card) linux distro (no preference
on flavour) that will be able to run a wifi card (yet to buy, so open to
suggestions) and also run an image viewer / slideshow software.

Its an old toshiba portege 3110ct if that helps,

The idea is that when I have friends over, I can turn the unit on (either
with a 'wake' style command or something) and it'll boot straight into the
image viewer software and display photo's (that could either be copied
across to a hd on the unit, if I use hd instead of CF, or from my pc using
the wifi)

Gent's, your thoughts / comments / recomends' etc would be gratefully
appreciated!

Regards,

Jonathan.
