KDE is flexible. If you have lots of memory, it does use lots of

I don't think that's right. I have a Pandaboard ES with a dual-core 1.2Ghz

you're referring to something here that I'm not familiar with.
I think the key word was micro, but is that off topic (ignoring

When you say embedded kernels you may mean something I'm not familiar
with, but I use a patched vanilla kernel with Gentoo on the Beaglebone
and it works great. No uclibc and no busybox.
I'm thinking more along the lines of ADSL

My most sincerest hope is that we take the embedded
gentoo efforts from the the embedded gentoo handbook,
and integrate them into the regular Gentoo handbook.
The distro that does this will be king of the distros!
Problems with using embedded kernels as a base...
* they use uclibc, which has some APIs that differ from glibc. This
could break Flash, proprietary video driver binary blobs, and who
knows what else.
* they generally use busybox symlinks in place of most core utils. The
