Embedded Gentoo?

Posted by michael on from the patience-required dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gentoo Linux may soon begin showing up in consumer gadgets, thanks to a new project creating an embedded version of Gentoo Linux. The year-old project has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, along with toolchains for native or cross-platform compiling. Native compiling, eh... considering it's Gentoo, how long would X take to compile on an iPAQ? :-)"

    Hey wait a minute.

    Are you saying that SCO is going to make even more money from licensing embedded Linux devices? Let me go get stock!

    I've compiled a basic gentoo install on an Athlon XP 2800 and FAST isn't the word that one would use to describe that process, how long will it take to do so on a Nokia Phone?
