[Qt-interest] Best Linux for QML app?

[Jason H]

Well I'd like to recommend TinyCoreLinux. It is super small, and easy! 
Just remember to add any files you want to keep to the /opt/.filetool.lst and 
run 

filetool.sh -b
To make sure it persists across boots. (The distro doesn't rely on persistent 
storage, but can make sure of it.)

Now I am am running a hardware accelerated server on my ION hardware! I just 
have one complaint though. The opacity animations are not as smooth as on my PC 
(running windows). I can run glxgears at 230FPS full screen or 2300FPS in the 
default window.

Is there any Xorg or nvidia option I can set to get smoother opacity animations? 
They seem to max out the CPU (1.6 Atom, Dual core, with HT)

Thanks!

Well I tried Arch linux, and it is out.
Too many problems with getting it installed. Grub wouldn't accept how I wanted 
the disks partitioned. When I auto partitioned it, grub worked, but then when it 

booted, it couldn't find the root fs. Might be because I'm using USB flash to 
install with. But grub was doing it by uuid, so it should have worked. But it 
drops me off at prompt before my USB keyboard is discovered. So that's a fail.

I gave MeeGo for IVI a try, boots X nearly instantly, but seems slow once 
booted.

Thanks.

Yes, I want to make a single purpose home control center SCADA type thing. I've 
been dreaming of this ever since I got an iOpener 10 years ago! (I evens till 
have it) But now we can do so much more!

If you want something up-to-date and lightweight, Arch is always good,
but you'll have to spend some time setting it up and tweaking it for
fast-boot, etc..  Their wiki has plenty of good articles on such
things.  Are there any other requirements?  Is this intended to be a
single-purpose/kiosk type of machine?
