This is my first foray into the embedded linux world so I can use all of the help anyone can offer.

I have a requirement for a device that will force an HTTP redirect. It needs to listen for requests on a predetermined port and reply to those requests with a URL that the user is to be redirected to. Apache running on a Linux server does this quite nicely with a few lines of code in a CONF file.

However, I don't want a server with moving parts thrown into my network which currently consists of Cisco routers and switches. In addition, this is a network model that will have multiple instances and buying all of those servers will become cost prohibitive.

I have a PC Engines WRAP 2.C which should be able to act as a "redirector on a stick" given the write Compact Flash image. There is an abundance of turnkey OS images for the WRAP 2.C but all of the ones I have come across are either firewalls or access points and such.

I would prefer not to get into cross compiling my own Linux distro as my lack of experience would seriously hinder my progress in such an effort. I was hoping someone could point me to a turnkey CF image for the WRAP board that functions as a configurable HTTPD server or just a barebones Linux distro that I could easily load such a HTTPD daemon onto.

If there is a distro for the WRAP board that just has serial/console support and some yum-type install functionality to make things easy for a nube like myself, that would be perfect.

Thanks in advance for everyones comments and suggestions.
