I agree in principle, but I note that 1 gig CF cards are now USD 11,
which puts them in reach of all but the most cost-sensitive
applications. An ALIX 2c2 with case and 1gig CF is USD 125 + 9 + 11 =
145. The CF card makes up 7% of the parts cost.

I agree that the default install of Voyage should stay small, small,
small (it's actually already too big for my tastes -- why does it have
busybox AND wget, for example?). I'm looking for the right choice of
what bigger packages to add to my base install as I've already
budgeted for the larger CF.

I'm going to investigate webmin today. I know it has the kitchen-sink
approach, but I'm wondering if maybe I can get the kind of control I
want, and turn off the things I don't want.
