I've been thinking about this just recently. We are developing an embedded product using the mpc860 and maybe a mpc8260. There is the HardHat Linux distribution which is based on RPMs but I think you have to buy a maintenance contract at US$5000 per developer per project. I was thinking about making a Debian distribution for embedded powerpc processors. I don't know where to start but I figured that all the sources would be the same as the powerpc workstations, just the compile flags need to be changed (ie. -mcpu=860, -fsoft-float, etc). I was thinking about native powerpc builds and i386 cross-builds. Does this sound feasible ?
