I meant I'd like to be able to control my heating system via a web interface |
| 2 |
(over the LAN or Internet). But that's only an example. |

I already built a system to control the heating but it's standalone, I miss |
| 5 |
the "web part", that's why I think embedded linux could do the trick, the |
| 6 |
only problem I see is the hardware. I have a bunch of old print server such |
| 7 |
as Axis or HP JetDirect equiped with Motorola µC, but I don't know if it's |
| 8 |
possible to install Linux on it. |
