Ways to go ?
* A genealogy tablet ?
 -- ** I wouldn't dream of doing genealogy research without a real keyboard and a big monitor.  -- ** A tablet may be useful for presentations (showing off). Figuring out how to install gramps (a subset) on an iPad or a Honeycomb tablet (Jython?) might be a better use of time than spinning a custom system. -- ** OTOH, making a nice UI for a tablet would be an interesting project. (I can just see a bunch of people I know futzing with Gramps during sacrament meeting. <g>)
There is a [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Required_software#OpenEmbedded.27s_Software_Requirements script] for [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Main_Page OpenEmbedded] support or [http://www.buildroot.org/ buildroot], [http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool crosstool-NG], [http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/index_en.html PTXdist], ...
* Provide more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software FLOSS] software: [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Other_genealogy_software programs], [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Other_genealogy_tools tools].
* Consider Lubuntu or Xbuntu as a base instead of the full (fat!) Ubuntu.
* The people I would share this with would want it to include PAF (works with wine) and Family Search Indexing (I still have to try this.)
