You should definitely read up on the Automon project, then. It is not PC-based, he's running embedded Linux on an ARM SBC.

I did read it after posting,

Defnately it is a great project, I will use ARM7 on mine but not this advanced graphic interface nider linux... I am student of Electronic engeneering, unfortunelly I dont program kernels.

It would be very nice to have a lcd screen on board running autoMon on my car. Great project.
