[Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux & building an appliance

[Dave Rush]

You might consider something similar to OpenWRT's (or X-WRT's, I never can
tell) Webif2. Or even their new Luci interface, if it does the same thing as
webif: shell scripts as the interface with the filesystem. It's lightweight,
easy to code for, and gets the job done. Especially if you're already doing
things at the command line, I think it's a great fit. The main piece of
magic is the shell script interpreter sh2html or something like that. Let me
know what you think.
