well, the programs installed really aren't going to be all that 
different regardless of which distribution is installed.  the biggest 
differences are probably in the management of the system configuration 
and the ease of doing package management.

i use gentoo on my embedded because i find it incredibly easier to get a 
working toolchain, build a $root filesystem, and copy it to something 
like flash and i'm all set.  that's disregarding the fact that i think 
gentoo's system configuration is outlandishly better.  particularly when 
it comes to networking.
