That's all great, thanks for sharing some ideas Bran.

If I can have a fully power-automated and managed system, an OS that I am familiar with (e.g windows), "lightweight installation", and without any of those proprietary toddler style smiling magenta & purple tiles/icons, I'll call this project successful.

We'll make it ultralight, simple/humble looking, and worthy of a Porsche car, I promise you that.

Stay tuned. Hopefully I'll received the board I've designed for power management early coming week. As silly as "power management" sounds to you guys, that is actually what will define if the project will be successful. As in the hardest part of this whole design. Can't wait!
