Best Distro for using plug as a ulti server, including TFTP

[Baphomet]

I got my plug quite a few months ago and I've only JUST begun reading the information on it to attempt getting it up and running. In that time, since I've bought it, I began thinking I could use this unit as a multi-server and one aspect I've considered is using it as a PXE/TFTP server. I've seen alot here regarding the use of TFTP booting the plug but nothing I can tell in the way of using the plug in this manner. I know it's a simple protocol, so it shouldn't ave any trouble running it -- Does anyone have any experience or success yet utilizing the plug as a TFTP server? What plug distro would be best suited for this? Are there any bug/compatibility issues with installation or maintaining one on the plug that anyone is aware of? Any recommendations on in-built server functionality or third party tftp apps regarding distro stability? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

TFTP, the protocol, doesn't place many requirements on the OS environment.  Any Linux distribution that includes sockets and memory management will suffice.  That's pretty much ALL OF THEM.   I would suggest choosing the distribution based on something else. (memory/flash footprint size, other SW you want to run, clever iconic logo, etc)

As a "boot image server", the plug just needs access to enough static storage (via Ethernet, USB or SDIO) to hold the images it has to serve.

I used an OpenRD-like platform (same Marvell processor) as a "DHCP/BootP/boot image server" for a group of DSPs in a previous project and it worked out well.  This was "homebrew" server software so I'm useless for off-the-shelf SW recommendations.  Sorry.
