Hello
Sorry if my mail is out of topic. I'm looking for a linux distro for my vdr box. I'd like a light system (without X11 since I use a dxr3 card) that boots fast.
Thanks
Damien

Hi, i suggest you Arch Linux to stay in the KISS philosophy :-)

Sounds good. Is it superior to slackware in term of boot time compared to slackware (which I'm using) ?
I'd like a system booting in a few seconds.

Give a try to EasyVDR or Gen2VDR too.

A few years back when I built my car pc, one of the things that got my boot time down significantly was using LinuxBios. If you are counting seconds it might be worth a look.

LinuxBIOS was renamed coreboot [1] over a year ago.

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.

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.
Thanks,
Paul

I have Arch Linux runnning with a DXR3 and it works really well. I'm using VDR for TV and MMS for movies, music, etc.
Be prepared to compile your own mplayer since the on in the repo doesn't have dxr3-support.
