    This is what is called a Raspberry Pi. You can read about it here.

    Now with that being said I need an OS written for it. It needs to only have the following:

    I am looking for a small operating system for a new computer that is being released. The Computer is the Raspberry Pi that is located here. http://www.raspberrypi.org/
    I will be willing to pay someone to write it for me.
    What I need is the following:

    I am looking for a Linux operating system that does nothing more than go to one web page.

    It is to be very basic, no drivers other than video, sound and wifi.
    I expect I will be using this usb dongle:

    You can find further info here about wireless dongles:

    It needs to be booted from an SD card that will be the hard drive of the computer.

    The SD card will need to be copied and edited so I can install it into the computer at the location I choose with the web address I choose, and only allowed to download from the IP address I enter.

    The web browser that is used must be able to run videos, such is YouTube and Flash.

    I also will need a way to log in to secure wireless networks.

    The computer will need to boot up in the full screen mode of the web browser. (The same is hitting the F11 function key).

    I need the operating system to only connect to the internet 4 times a day by wifi, and keep the web page in cache.

    If anyone knows a Linux distro that is simple to set up and small, or interested in building it please contact me by P/M, post a reply here or email me.

    A sample of a webpage is located here.

    I will be using multiple setups of the same computer, so the OS needs to be just plug and play.
    (In other words I want to be able to change the website address, the login for the wifi network and the ip that the webpage is fed from, and be able to insert the card into any of the R-pi I am using from any computer with an SD card slot). No keyboard or mouse support is needed.

    The computer does not have a power switch. Some setups of this may be turned off at night and on in the morning. When the computer is powered up it must boot to the full screen browser, and connect to wifi for updating.

    It would also be great if the OS could be used with the Beagleboard located here.


    I will pay by Paypal for anyone that is interested in coding the OS.

    Thank you,
