Yes, part of it. baselayout is another part - and yet it's possible to run Gentoo on other variants like initng, daemontools and no doubt others. I believe that embedded doesn't use baselayout as such because we rely on bash and they rely on busybox. But last time I checked it was still Gentoo. Or are you saying that SUSE is RedHat as they use RPM? -- Roy Marples Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
