The drawback of it (and similar systems which originate from mainline distros) is that they're limited to relatively "large" devices and tend to be challenged by the fact that the toolsets originally hadn't be designed for that purpose. On the other hand, they heavily benefit from the large amount of already ported packages. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: [email protected] mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
