Hi all,

This is my first post in here. :)

Last year I worked on an device that was using buildroot (from the uclibc project) to put together packages, patches and a basic root filesystem.
The final result was a complete linux distribution ready to be used.

Now I'd like to start using an ubuntu system for a new device...so I've learned how to create deb files from my own projects and how to set up a basic personal repository.

The only "problem" is that I'd like to have a basic file system "ubuntu like" that must be small and fast. Googling I've found the moblin image-creator that fulfills (or seems to) my needs...it creates a basic and small ubuntu filesystem.

So my question is...do you think moblin image-creator is a good alternative to buildroot or not?
