ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
===================
This document describes possible example applications of the embedded operating
system distribution.

APPLICATION 1: REMOTELY-CONTROLLABLE STEREO SYSTEM
==================================================
In this application, the operating system would run Music Player Daemon (MPD),
a server program that plays audio files on one or more outputs and can be
controlled by one or more local or remote client programs. MPD would be
configured to output audio to the hardware audio outputs through either the
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) or Open Sound System (OSS) and to allow
client connections on any network interface. Once attached to a computer
network, the stereo system could then be controlled by any other networked
computer system running an MPD client.
SOFTWARE PACKAGES
-----------------
This application would require the following software programs and libraries to
be packaged and built for the target hardware:
* MPD
* GLib
* libffi
* ALSA or OSS
* Libav
APPLICATION 2: FEDERATED MICROBLOGGING INSTANCE
===============================================
In this application, the operating system would run StatusNet, a popular
microblogging server platform that is federated (able to share information with
other server instances such as Identi.ca). Once attached to a computer network,
this microblogging appliance would allow its user(s) to communicate with users
of similar applicances, Identi.ca, and other servers that implement the same
protocols.
SOFTWARE PACKAGES
-----------------
This application would require the following software programs and libraries to
be packaged and built for the target hardware:
* StatusNet
* PHP
* MySQL
* Curl
* GD
