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.

with the live CD and now this embedded version, gentoo is losing focus. why? becuase the point of gentoo is its portage and its so-called optimisations/customisations. the live CD doesn't benefit (why not use knoppix?) and who is going tohave a portage tree on embdedded systems? embedded systems are often static and built cross-compiled and often from scratch. those who know how to build embedded systems won't be using gentoo.
