I found various problems with the Corel distribution, largely caused by
various packages which hadn't been recompiled since Russell's original
port of RedHat 3.something (A.OUT based). Titan has been rebuilt from
scratch completely using RPMs. The Debian I tried seemed very incomplete,
and also seemed to be still using an unversioned Glibc, like Corel
(which is a bad thing because it means you have to recompile everything
when you upgrade Glibc, which amazingly Corel actually did at one point
without switching to a versioned Glibc at the same time), but this was
quite a while ago so they may have managed to improve it a lot since then.

The Linux-7110 project (Linux on the Psion 5 and Geofox 1) is probably the
closest to this. I started working on a basic embedded distro at one
point, but haven't got much further than an initrd with Glibc, bash, and
lots of tools in it:
