Thanks for the tips, Del. I dont think I'll have a problem getting the OS onto the CF card when the time comes. I am more interested in knowing what DSL supports by default. Does it have all of the following:

SSH Server
NFS Client
Framebuffer Support
PCMCIA Support
Prism Wireless chipset support

If someone could download "fbi" on their DSL system and let me know if it works or not, that would be helpful.

Well, I know there's an SSH server.
I think NFS client is there, but no promises (I don't personally use it).
I'm pretty sure framebuffer is there, one (of two) X server choices is framebuffer.
It seems that PCMCIA is not compiled into the kernel (not positive tho), but it should be trivial to recompile the kernel to add it. (John, if you read this, how about the oft-requested kernel .config file? Pretty please?)
I know nothing about wireless except what I read on Slashdot... If it's a kernel option, it's probably not there (although maybe modular). Again, trivial to recompile the kernel to add this though.

For kernel compiling on Debian, see http://articles.linmagau.org/modules....tid=158

Hey,

Have you thought about the long term effect it will have on the monitor? I mean will it not burn the pictures into the screen?

sorry if this burst your bubble a little but it was just a random thought, sorry if im wrong, sorry if im right.

Burn in should not be much of a problem on an LCD screen. Also, it sounds as if his picture frame will rotate displayed pictures, thus acting like a screensaver.
