Don’t worry I havn’t given up on it yet either. I have decided to do away with the big fancy frame I had for it, We are running out of space on the walls anyway. I decided to create a small box just a inch bigger around than the lcd and about 2 inches thick to hold it all. I think that sitting this on top of the entertainment center would actually look much nicer.
Now for anyone who has found this page or has been following along, should I stick with linux or revert back to windows? Please comment or email me with you reasoning behind your choice of os for this project.
Please, I would really like to have more involvement from my readers in my projects.

Hi, I left a comment on another page about your dpf before I realised it was written in Jan.
Personally I used linux because the laptop I converted was old and had only 256mb ram and i didn’t want to use it up with an antivirus program or firewall. I used a cf card as a poormans silent ssd, so swap space wasn’t a choice.
In saying this, windows could be a good choice as there are many more programs out there for displaying photos and pulling them from other sources.
also if you’re wanting your kids and wife to use it too, are they familiar with linux if not then maybe windows…
Yes having my wife be able to use the frame is probably top on my list. I would never remember to refresh the pictures.
As for the bracket let me think on that for awhile. How important is it that your frame be flush on the wall?
Im not too concerned about having it flush. Maybe it could be flush (or near to) normally but then could be tilted downward for movies. Maybe i should look at some of the mounts used for fixing lcd tvs to a wall as they might allow for some tilting and movement.
I have an idea for your mount.
I’ll try to post a picture later, I can’t think of a good way to explain it.
