This simple embedded Linux project builds a dedicated music recording and editing computer using a CompactFlash card instead of a hard drive, to eliminate hard disk chatter. It uses the latest release from the Agnula (GNU/Linux Audio) project, and the newest VIA Epia MII-12000 mini-ITX board.

The Agnula project aims to create a GNU/Linux audio distribution that can meet the needs of professional recordists. Its most recent release is a “Live CD” based on Knoppix and Debian, along with the very best Linux audio applications available, pre-integrated into a nice, slick environment.

This embedded project is fairly simple, because it starts with an embedded distribution — the live CD — and simply installs it onto CompactFlash. The method used applies to embedding most any Knoppix-based Live CD onto CompactFlash.
