I would like to c= reate a single purpose OS that you can boot on a Raspberry Pi or similar de= vice and debating between sticking with Linux or using FBSD (I would prefer= FBSD). It needs to boot in just a few seconds and only load X and then run= a dedicated Perl app (no desktop env or anything else).

Is there a group or list for embedded FBSD= ? Can anyone provide some pointers on how to make FBSD boot as fast or fas= ter than some of the embedded Linux out there ?
