Rootstock makes it easy

Tried out rootstock yesterday. It really rocks. I have been using Openembedded at work for over a year now, but rootstock is quite different. OE follows the Gentoo philosophy where you start from scratch and build everything. Rootstock on the other hand just puts together a filesystem by downloading pre-built .debs from ubuntu.

On the whole, OE allows for more fine-grained control but for Rootstock seems to be much easier to use.
