Slackware ARM 13.37 Is now End Of Life but there may be some interest
in installing it because the 2.6 series kernel is long term stable,
and because the Caspa unit works with 2.6.34 from Sakoman.com

+If you go cheap on the SD Cards, like "Speed Class 4", you will notice the difference. The kernel caches writes to the SD Card, and finishes them as it can. This is why it is always important to use the "sync" command when copying data to the SD Card. If you are trying to do any kind of video capture application, the SD card has to be fast enough to handle HD video capture.
