A project to create embedded versions of Gentoo Linux has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, cross-platform toolchains, and, for x86, an optional hardened toolchain. The year-old project needs developers to help add cross-compile awareness to source packages.

Ok. I do not like to do this but I have to. I am just finishing installing gentoo 2004.3. I consider myself a newbie. I have benn using linux for 1 year and 1/2 now. I did a stage1 release ( big deal :-)). I have to say something. Gentoo is the most stable distro I have used. I was thinking that everything was a hype. Hell no. I used Fedora and Ubuntu. They cannot compare. I am using a Presario 2100 laptop. The portage sistem, hasnt failed yet. I can compile three applications at the same time, and still use my system like nothing. I am not saying that it is the best distro. Everybody is confortable with their favorite distro (that is linux). However, the hype about gentoo it is well based. I will keep trying some distros, in the search for the one that fits me. But right now, I have to say that gentoo is the best.
