[Coco] The BIGGEST PROBLEM with (So-Called) NEW CoCo Hardware...

[Dave Philipsen]

Try Raspbian Lite for starters and then do a little research on how to 
speed up the boot time.  Of course if you're booting up into a GUI-based 
interface that also takes longer than command line.  Also, you could use 
a super cap or Li-ion battery as an inexpensive power backup/conditioner.

Its a problem because we wanted to use them for a ticketing system, but when power would glitch, as it often did out there, they didn't want to hold the line for that long waiting for the system to boot. Haha.
