Though OpenEmbedded is a fantastic tool with lots of recipes, lately I've been cooling off on the whole idea. IMHO, no embedded linux build is finished unless you have a way to update the device (for security issues etc). For OE: 1) it's too much work to rebuild everything when you want to pickup security updates 2) upstream doesn't generally update packages in a timely fashion 3) divergence between your recipes and upstream is a big problem 4) opkg isn't as full-fledged as dpkg/yum etc. So lately, for my own projects, it's gotta be dpkg-based with an active upstream repo.
