1. I would recommend a linux distro as they are generally the lightest (and FREE!). A common OS is ubuntu.

2. You can set up any program (or script) to run upon boot in a linux. What 1706 has done for many years now is simply don't require a login and then set up the program to run on boot. This way, as soon as the board gets power (and maybe a press of the power button to start the booting process of the board), the program will start automatically.
