did come across commercial embedded oriented distrobutions such as MonteVista
Linux and such. I am a hobbyist, I can't afford a hundreds of dollars
development kits, and I would like to use tools that I already somehow familiar
with, such tools as Gentoo's. But are they? can anyone point me to someone,
somewhere, beneath web-sphere?


Take a look here:

Also, there is an excellent gentoo- embedded user support group:

Here are a few additional links, related to ARM processors:
