Gentoo is great for setting up a system on another box (in a chroot) and then moving it over. It's extremely granular and if you compile with -Os and don't install things you don't need (docs, .po's) and at the end remove things you don't need anymore (kernel sources, include files, pieces of gcc/binutils...) you can make a very very lean system. Yes, there I go with Gentoo superlatives again :-) But granularity and making very small/customized installations really is one of Gentoo's greatest deployment strengths. -- Dan Armak Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://cvs.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key
