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.

I hope Gentoo embedded doesn't disappear like familiar linux seems to have done with the disappearance of handhelds.org. I for one make fairly heavy use of Familiar linux on my iPaq 3955 but since Familiar seems to have disappeared I need something else to turn too, Gentoo would be good as it is large and has a large user and developer-base.

I can sum up Gentoo-Embedded in one word: "Cool"
