It's not that hard to create a Linux system that will boot up and start an application program without any user being "logged" in by using the normal init.d script files. If that's all you want, you already have it. Norm

Thanks. >The PeeWee Linux project has created an embedded Linux distro based on RedHat 6.2 (yes, 6.2!). The project's site is http://peeweelinux.com/. The project seems to have largely gone stale, although people are still using it. If you dig through the list archives, you can find instructions on updating to 2.4 kernels and stuff like that. good luck, Jonathan
