I got a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet (using it it write this post). Michael redesigned his website (looks great). We can get an update on the digital picture frame adventure. Tim Eian is building office space way to cool for any of us… Should be a good time. [...] [...] There will be lots to talk about and share.

With a 12G HD in there, I can happily run Fedora with Gnome, which allows me to use GDM for the autologin and to run a script to start the slideshow. I'm using 'feh' for the slideshow, and I've noticed that on FC5 it can't overlap the Gnome panel, though on my FC6 box it does just fine. If I move to flash, then I'm looking at some reduced space probably. In that case, I might consider a leaner distribution/install without the bloat of a *fancy* window manager and graphical login utility.

I think working with solid state memory would be great - and being able to remotely operate everything would be desirable as well. I have no idea how to do that though ;) It sounds to me like the software challenge needs to be solved first, then comes the construction phase for the actual frame.
