An anonymous reader writes "In this article at LinuxDevices.com, Jerry Epplin takes a detailed look Qplus, an open source embedded Linux toolkit, examining what the project has accomplished -- and what is still to be done. Epplin concludes that "...The introduction of Qplus is certain to be a welcome development for developers who have been hoping for a pure open source embedded Linux toolkit.

    regarding the unopenable PDFs, try using xpdf instead of acroread. I had trouble reading the doc pdf with acroread but it worked with xpdf.

    You might be interested in midori linux by Transmetta.It uses a web based configurator, and builds from source.It's been a while since it's been updated, but lately the CVS has been quite active.This is probably due to the flurry of tablet PCs using the transmetta chips.
