Nguyen,
At any given time PTXDist just seems to have too many broken or half
working features. It's always annoying to download the latest release
and see what works, what kind of works, and what is just plain broken.
Also, I really wanted to switch to uclibc for more standardization
across platforms. The gumstix, for instance, uses uclibc natively, and
for good reason. I know that PTXDist can support uclibc, but with
buildroot "it just works". I haven't had that hard of a time getting
most software to build with buildroot2. It also seems easier to add
your own packages. Also, it's what openwrt and gumstix use, so people
seem to be more familiar with it.
I am in no way saying that PTXDist is a bad piece of software, but for
some reason, at this point, buildroot2 seems to be better for AstLinux.
