Develop New Embedded Systems

YOU’LL NEED TO GET a little hardcore for this one. Nard—Not Another Raspberry Distribution—is, as its name suggests, not actually a distro at all. It’s a development kit for embedded systems. Install it on an SD card, and your Pi will boot the entire OS into RAM, leaving you free to remove the SD without damaging the system. You then get a truly headless box to work with as you wish, logging in through a web interface, adding packages via an SD card, or—if it’s misbehaving—communicating through its USB null modem connection. You’re then free to build whatever system you require from its wide selection of lightweight apps, or by making use of the Debian compatibility layer. http://arbetsmyra.dyndns.org/nard/
