One problem is that with GNAP you build on a workstation different from
the target system. When everything is x86, Catalyst is happy. When you
need some cross-compiling, I'm not sure it will degrade too well. It's
certainly possible to do it, but I would go for regular Embedded Gentoo
stage building and add GNAP post-configuration magic on it (?)
Thierry,
thanks for reply. Well I would really prefer any x86 because it is much easier to create an appliance on a workstation I work on daily, and this is not what I do for living, I just let zombies do my hardest work :-) But alchemy's size and features really blew me away and I started wondering how to use that platform for my favorite apps too.

Probably someone on this list might know an x86-based platform with the
characteristics you require ?

Well then: does somebody have experience with small x86 devices ready to use for gnap? Not simple ones, I would like to have 1.0+ GHz CPU, GPU 1280x1024@16M, 802.1q VLANs, flash card slot, 128+ RAM, watchdog, usb 2.0, audio, PS/2 keyboard, dsub/dvi?

Janusz.
