Debian-live for embedded systems?

[Cyril Jaquier <cyril.jaquier@jaqpot.net>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a Linux system on CF card for an Alix board [1]. The 
system will run a web interface (written in Python) to configure the 
server (basic network settings, timezone, etc) and to start/stop a Java 
application.

So it seems that Debian-live + persistence should do the trick. However, 
Debian-live is designed for "live" Linux systems and not really for 
embedded systems. On the other hand, my target hardware is more like a 
PC than an embedded system ;)

Have you already used Debian-live for this? Is Debian-live a good choice 
in this case?

Regards,

Cyril Jaquier
