Need a linux flight program

I am building a UAV and building a computer control system. I am wanting to use a small linux disro (puppy, damn small) so that i need no drives except sd card reader. I am wondering if anyone knew of a flight control program or something that can be motified to work. The basics are that i am gonna use a 3g cell to communicate and for gps, a small decent mother board an amd phenom II processor, 2X 4g ddr2, and a sdcard reader. NO DRIVES- too much weight. I have tested the prototype and it flies. I know a phone isnt instant but thats ok. it will used to give cooridants and to give commands. I plan to have the computer to control, by usb, a control board but want some input before i start building it. Any ideas or suggestions or help would be appreciated. Would it be possible to modify a flight simulator to work in this situation?

NAME
mcookie - generate magic cookies for xauth SYNOPSIS
mcookie [options] DESCRIPTION
mcookie generates a 128-bit random hexadecimal number for use with the X authority system. Typical usage: xauth add :0 . `mcookie` The "random" number generated is actually the output of the MD5 message digest fed with various pieces of random information: the current time, the process id, the parent process id, and optionally the contents of an input file. and several bytes of information from the first of the following devices which is present: /dev/random, /dev/urandom, files in /proc, /dev/audio. OPTIONS
-f, --file=FILE Use file as a macig cookie seed. When file is defined as `-' character input is read from stdin. -v, --verbose Explain what is being done. -V, --version Output version information and exit. -h, --help Display this help and exit. BUGS
The entropy in the generated 128-bit is probably quite small (and, therefore, vulnerable to attack) unless a non-pseudorandom number gener- ator is used (e.g., /dev/random under Linux). It is assumed that none of the devices opened will block. FILES
/dev/random /dev/urandom /dev/audio /proc/stat /proc/loadavg SEE ALSO
X(1), xauth(1), md5sum(1) AVAILABILITY
The mcookie command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux June 2011 MCOOKIE(1)
