Umm..maybe?? Its a standard owfs build. I just did a custom "OS
build", I need services like "ejabberd" and some python libs that can
be a bit more difficult to find pre-compiled for the arm arch.
Basically, the flexibility of many/most gentoo packages "just working"

would your custom build be useful to others?
