Well, if you have so much ram that you don't need swap, if you won't
need network, if you won't access the linuxbox in any way, if you have
hacked the dvb&lirc modules into kernel, if you won't check the
filesystem from time to time, if you want to run your linux on GMT, yes.
Otherwise it will probably easier to cut down a linux distro.
