Hi,

I ask it here because I really don't know where to ask it.

Is there a Linux system somewhere with a *non-GNU* userland?

linux + uclibc + busybox?

yes. And maybe you even get X or KDE run on it - google and tell us your results ;)

Wow! To bring back the thread on a Gentoo topic, I found neat howtos on the wiki:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyGentoo
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Embedded_Gentoo

I guess I'll try when I'll have some really spare time...

Thanks for the cool link. The "next step", I guess, is things that differ conceptually from the familiar Linux we're accustomed to. That is, if you follow newslogs like OSNews, you'll see a lot of hobbysts and engineers like to create new kernels. There is less interest in doing conceptually novel userlands (novel shells etc.) or it is just my impression? Maybe a more boring task?

Sorry for the naive question, I am *by no mean* a system programmer (All I know is some decent Python, and I am just *now* learning the basics of C++ ,that's it), so I'm sure I am plain wrong or there are rock solid reasons behind it...
