The application in question is freewheeling and yes it is single window. I have written a script to make all this happen for X including starting jack and making all the right connections.

Check with the FreeBoB people. Yes the device is supported by freebob -> Some minimalist distro's for example Puppy linux don't ship with Firewire drivers enabled in the kernel and it is a conciderable PITA to compile these from source. > As long as you're not planning to distribute the software packages you > build (in which case you have to worry about dependencies and > compatibility), it's pretty easy to build your own packages at least on > DEB and RPM based systems.

What I really want though is something fairly minimal with good documentation on how to rip out anything unnessary out of the boot process. ~15 seconds to a usuable system would be a nice target. A realtime kernel would be great too....
I've heard initng is useful for this, high speed booting. Make sure it doesn't start much and does as much in parallel as possible at boot.
