You could probably find something about several such projects by searching on your favorite search engine for "sbc freebsd" or something similar. As noted, netbsd, openbsd, and various flavors of Linux have also been used in this sort of device with good results.

Again, they exist. You'll probably come across such hardware while doing the above searches. > I am hoping to most of the development in C (little as possible, as I am > just learning C), and shell scripts. You'll probably find some mailing lists in the process as well, where you can get help with this.
