I'm not exactly doing embedded Linux, but I am creating a bare-bones "virtual appliance" platform. That will run on VMware ESX platforms. I'm leveraging portage to build binary packages to then install on the target. I'm curious if anyone has done this already? BTW, the company I work for is hiring a platform/linux engineer also. That one is based on CentOS. If anyone here is interested please send me an email. -- Keith Dart -- -- -------------------- Keith Dart =======================
