Brazil is the "easybox" internet computer which is an ARM device with
an ISA slot (for originally a modem and optionally a NE2000 network
board), some peripherals, video output and remote keyboard. These can
be had for (very) cheap. How hard is to port e.g.: Angstrom or
something like that for a system like this?
As long as you don't need GUI, even on a limited device (not much
RAM, flash for storage), Busybox Linux is very easy to port. There
are many ARM-equipped devices (e.g. DSL modems, etc.) that use it.
It's very minimal, but it works on some mightly limited devices.
Arch for ARM is another minimal distribution.
Is this what you were asking?
