Linux Distributions for Embedded Development?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the operating-systems-for-hobbyists dept.

FirmWarez asks: "Time to put together a new Linux box. I'm an embedded systems guy. I need to support cross development for a number of embedded platforms, from tiny micro-controllers through Coldfire, ARM, and other embedded processors. Projects will range from 'for work' to putzing around with open sourced consumer gadgets. What Linux distribution would you choose and why?"

    I use Gentoo on my toaster and it runs great. In about 13 years it will have finished compiling Bash and I will be able to
    # mktoast /dev/slot1
    .

    This will be well worth the wait.
