Why?  Why not?

I have a via based device which runs voyage linux from a 64MB flash
drive.  It's sole purpose is to live beside the stereo and play
streaming music.  Why use a larger distrobution?  Voyage is small enough
to fit on the 64MB... cheap and low power.  Also, mounting the flash ro
makes the system impervious to power outages.  If the power goes out, it
just boots back up and continues on.  Why put a ups on a music device?
Since voyage is based on debian, I could apt-get all the tools I needed
to specialize my install for what I wanted.

I know that most of you (it seems from the emails I've seen on the list)
use voyage for networking routers and such; but why limit your
imagination to just that? It could be used for in-car computers,
robotics, who knows what else.  Man, do I love open source!
