Re: [eug-lug]small distros (i.e. Zipslack)

I would bet customizability would be a big selling point for that market
and gentoo does offer fine-grained control over exactly what is going 
into an image...

The zynot folks talked about having a gentoo port for embedded and

cross-compiling, since I think compilation of a complete system on a 
PDA
would be difficult-to-near-impossible.  At that point, what is the
benefit of using gentoo?  Familiarity, I'm sure.  Any reason why gentoo
would be particularly worthwhile for a small system?
