LinuxBIOS for fast boots

[Nicholas Ault]

Hi,

Curious to know:
What do you think of the C3 offerings from cwlinux?  Specifically I am 
looking to start quickly, so I am wanting to get a board pre-installed. 
 I like best the M787CL+ boards with the 1Ghz C3 processor.

I guess my real question is: Should I be looking at a DOC model or the 
"Local Disk" model which doesn't use a DOC(correct?)?  I do and don't 
want just a turn key board, so I want one that works now, but I would 
like to be able to work on it or change things as I get more associated 
with the linuxbios.  Can the non-DOC boards be flashed?  Also, fast boot 
time is the key for me; which mode would be the best, and should I look 
at a different board/processor?  Would CF->IDE adapter with the boot 
system on it help with this?

Thanks!
